Hi Bob!The wind is still howling through the trees, limbs, small trees and roof tiles blown down. Scattered clouds, but no rain. Weird weather. We got tired of the bathroom…I took doggies out for a run and literally had to keep pushing against the wind to stay upright. We came in after 20 minutes. If you’re scared… say you’re scared!As for the lack in your musical education, I give you the following. No, don’t thank me. Just sit back, relax and enjoy!Glo
Music Appreciation 101… class dismissed! See ya next week!
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The son of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is peddling a board game titled “Don’t Drop the Soap,” a prison-themed game he created as part of a class project at the Rhode Island School of Design.
John Sebelius, 23, has the backing of his mother and father, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gary Sebelius. Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said both parents “are very proud of their son John’s creativity and talent.”
John Sebelius is selling the game on his Internet site for $34.99, plus packaging, shipping and handling. The contact information on the website lists the address of the governor’s mansion. Corcoran said the address will change when John Sebelius moves.
The game also goes on sale starting Jan. 31 at a shop called Hobbs in the college town of Lawrence.
The site describes “Don’t Drop the Soap” as a game “Where no one playing enters through the front door!”
“Fight your way through 6 different exciting locations in hopes of being granted parole,” the site says. “Escape prison riots in The Yard, slip glass into a mob boss’ lasagna in the Cafeteria, steal painkillers from the nurse’s desk in the Infirmary, avoid being cornered by the Aryans in the Shower Room, fight off Latin Kings in Gang War, and try not to smoke your entire stash in The Hole.”
The game includes five tokens representing a bag of cocaine, a handgun and three characters: wheelchair-using “Wheelz,” muscle-flexing “Anferny” and business suit-clad “Sal the Butcher.”
Corcoran said John Sebelius sought legal advice to be sure he followed proper requirements, and he even took out a loan on his own to pay for the production of his work.
“This game is intended for mature audiences — not children — and is simply intended for entertainment,” Corcoran said.
LONDON (Reuters) – An estate agent who took a prospective buyer to view a house in central England found the owner hanging dead in a closet, the agency said Thursday.
It was the first viewing of the 350,000-pound ($700,000) house which had been on the market for a week. The owner was hanging from a belt inside a walk-in closet in the main bedroom.
“It was quite a shock,” said a spokesman for estate agents Hartleys. “Our agent quickly ushered everyone out, locked the property and called the authorities.”
The owner, a single man in his 40s, is thought to have committed suicide. He inherited the house from his mother who died recently, the estate agents said.

PORTLAND, Maine – The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a man with a mustache who is pulling in front of female drivers and then jumping out of his vehicle while wearing women’s underwear, a garter belt and black high-heel boots.
Since last spring, there have been six reports about the cross-dressing motorist. The most recent incident was last Sunday. The episodes have occurred in the Standish-Buxton area.
Sheriff Mark Dion said that while the man’s behavior may not be criminal in terms of dress, the fact that he’s jumping out in roadways and apparently targeting women who are alone is cause for concern.
The sheriff said women have had to swerve to avoid the man.
LONDON (Reuters) – The abduction of a dog stood out among 135 reports of UFO incidents received by the Ministry of Defence last year.
Flaming objects, bright lights behaving erratically, odd shapes flying in the sky and even a village blackout following silently exploding lights are also among the reports of unidentified flying objects from all over the country, according to details released on Friday under freedom of information rules.
But the report from Wales of the dog abduction grabs attention.
“The witness saw spaceships and then said that one of them abducted his dog, car and tent when he and some friends were out camping,” reads the report received on Jan 3 this year.
In a report from central England in December last year the witness reported a giant craft shining a light into a rear window before shooting off, while another in June counted 15,000 lights in the sky.

LONDON (Reuters) – A hearse overturned when the horses pulling it to a south London cemetery stampeded, dragging the carriage and coffin past appalled relatives and sending floral tributes flying.
“It was dreadful,” a mourner told the South London Press. “The horses dragged the carriage to the cemetery on its side, tossing the coffin all over the place and destroying all the flowers inside.”
“Some people got very angry and had to be restrained by other mourners… It is understandable given the circumstances. I’m horrified that something like this could happen.”
Police were called to calm angry mourners so that the funeral last month could go ahead.
The carriage appeared to have clipped a mini-roundabout as it entered Lambeth Cemetery for the funeral, the local council which administers the graveyard said Friday.
