Way OT but I gotta tell somebody. My sister was back in town last weekend and her former neighbor told her this. The gal, her neighbor, is a regular customer in a local bead store, you know the ones that are popping up here and there for the latest bead jewelry making craze. This store has been around for ten years or so, I'd guess. The lady makes nice jewelry and goes there to buy beads. She goes in, picks out some more pricey ones and shops around. Goes to check out and the owner says "you're trying to steal those and I'm calling the cops!" The customer is a soft spoken, well dressed, local lady with ample money who of course absolutely did not steal anything. Of course she denied it but the owner went on and on about stealing and the cops. The customer panicked when the owner said to dump out her purse and give her her ID. Sadly she complied. The cops came, interogated her, called her a "felon" and threatened to haul her to jail. They spoke privately to the owner. Then, GET THIS: The cops said "what we normally do in this situation is, you pay 5 TIMES the value of the items you tried to steal or we arrest you and have you booked." The lady panicked but was scared so she paid something like $57 to get out of it. What an effing shakedown!!! Someone else heard this story as it was being told and said they say a group of about 4-5 girls about 13 yrs old in the store crying and in a circle pooling their money. They had looked at someting off the rack and it broke so they had to do the same: pay 5 times or cops would be called. The owners are living in a huge mansion house and no one can figure out how a bead store could make that much money. Well, now we know. This is in a well known tourist town in a respected city. If anyone other than my sister had told me this I wouldn't have believed it.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
