In the real world news today..........Lufkin Texas.
I really don't know what to say about this, except that someone didn't get their butt whipped enough when younger.
Someone opened a 1/2 gallon tub of sacred Blue Bell ice cream, took a big lick out of it and then put the lid back on and placed it back in the store's freezer while someone video the whole thing. Yuck!

(there's a video there..the language is fairly offensive..just read the text of the article if you want to avoid hearing it)

.... Just...why?

 

[Bruce]

I wonder if she'll get her butt whipped enough now. Can't put her in jail, she's a juvenile.

Someone ought to take some of that ice cream, let a dog or cat pee in it them make her eat it. And I can tell you that the parents ought to be made to suffer some consequences, since she is a juvenile. Yes it is a prank, and there are worse things/destructive things that they could have done. But SOMEONE has got to start making an example of bad/thoughtless /inconsiderate/unsanitary/disgusting behavior. She needs more than an a$$ whipping.
I commend Blue Bell for their diligence. They will probably be adding the little plastic seal around the edge of the cartons, or something now to stop another STUPID and Disgraceful act by an inconsiderate, immature, thoughtless, spiteful idiot,

On another note, what about the 2 earthquakes in Calf. Sure many of us wish that Calf would just disappear with all the "Democratic Socialists" there. But the second one was 7.1 and was recorded here in Va at Tech. There are some good decent people there in the "farming-country" areas.

California will seperate from the mainland , just like Florida will........the earth evolves,
the idiots FRACKING are not helping mother earth at all....

 

[CntryBoy777]

There are "forces" far greater than human kind, at work that is destroying the earth....if one's "beliefs" are Bible based, that is...we have to "hold on" just a little bit longer.....

For perspective, the Richter Scale is logarithmic..it's not a 1 for one increase. Richter is amplitude..what you feel..what the sensors feel. That means for instance, that a quake on a scale of 7.1 is not 1x more powerful than a 6.1, ...it's 10x as more powerful. So the 7.1 last night was about 7x as more powerful in amplitude than the 6.4 the day before.

There is another scale called the moment magnitude scale that indicates the energy that is released. It's the one scientists use to really find out just how powerful the forces are in the plate movements.
