Just heard a car carrier flipped over on the L.I.E.

Just in case you were missing the Cross Bronx.

One of the guys texted they’re diverting off everyone at 135 going west.

In case you're off to work this morning, maybe go fishing instead!

Hey Mojo, I live in an Audubon International Silver Signature Sanctuary which is on 2,400 acres. We have all sorts of wildlife here from Panthers, Bobcats, wild hogs, rattlesnakes, and of course alligators. And some very very large ones at that. We see them all the time you need to be mindful that they are around. Also a ca-zillion different types of birds with many Bald Eagles.

This is mating season for the alligators and they are very active moving from pond to pond looking for you know what. You can sometimes hear them at night making whoopie.

I wonder if a hooked tuna, or any other fish will swim predominantly counterclockwise when spiraling up?

The article seemed to indicate that it's not common in nature, but they don't have any explanations about why humans tend to do it either.

A Property Owner Left a Stuck Mower Near a Ditch. When They Came Back, It Was Gone

Sixty nine years old, and he's getting popped for stealing a lawnmower.

But wait, there's more.

The owner got it stuck in a ditch. Went to get a tow vehicle and a strap to pull it out.

Somehow the genius next door got it unstuck and drove it home. Left a butt-load of tracks and was clearly hiding it....

But wait, there's more!

The comments.

First one is about, "Now he has a felony record. Good luck getting a job."

He's sixty fheckin' nine years old! A career man, you say?

Today, I spent my time chucking dog $#it off the lawn at my commercial building. Because a bunch of entitled, selfish $#its want the benefits of a pet, but none of the responsibilities.

I'm working on surveillance cameras to figure this out, but what do you want to bet, if I can put together concise video of these offences the PD will do nothing.

I cannot wait to close this business and get rid of this real estate obligation.

Humans suck.
