Good Morning, Do! Today is Monday, December 30 Have you seen Venus? Look for the moon, Venus is just a bit to the left of it in the evening. When I noticed it, I thought at first it was landing lights of the WestJet coming from Dallas. It looked much too bright for a planet. However, it was not moving, and then I remembered seeing a notice on Space.Com about Venus and moon. It was clear enough here that there was "Earth-Shine" on the dark part of the moon, faint bluish light. Did you know that Leonardo da Vinci in the 1400s was the first to recognize that as earth-shine. Have a look tonight!

She brought her selection - a baseball bat to the cash register. "Cash or charge," the clerk asked. "Cash," she snapped. Then apologizing for her rudeness, she explained, " I've spent the afternoon at the motor-vehicle bureau. I am not too sane right now!!" "Shall I gift -wrap the bat?" the clerk asked sweetly, "Or or you going back?" ________________________________________________` Christian Spencer ____________________________________________________ If you like the Humor Letter, please vote! Thanks for your votes! ___________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by Gary Ballard, 29, Tulsa, Okalahoma `She demands his head on a platter' Kentucky mom tells 911 dispatcher of suspect who took her baby in carjacking A 911 call captured a Kentucky mother's desperation and anger after a man police said was high on methamphetamine stole her car with her baby in the back seat, setting off 12 minutes of terror for the woman as officers raced to find the infant. "Please find this bastard! Want his head on a platter!" the panicked mother is heard telling a police dispatcher of the suspect moments after the carjacking unfolded on Monday morning in the Louisville, Kentucky, suburb of Shepherdsville. "I need my baby," she screamed repeatedly in the 911 recording released by the Shepherdsville Police Department and obtained by ABC affiliate station WHAS-TV in Louisville. Joshua Reynolds, 22, was arrested on kidnapping and auto theft charges after he allegedly carjacked a vehicle with a 13-month- old child inside on Dec. 16, 2019, in Shepherdsville, Ky.Bullitt County Detention Center The woman, whom police have not identified, told officers the carjacking occurred when she stopped at a UPS store and briefly went inside, leaving her silver Ford Escape running with her baby strapped in a child seat in the back, according to Shepherdsville police. The mother said that when she walked out of the store, the suspect was in the driver's seat preparing to take off, police said. She immediately jumped in front of the SUV, she told the dispatcher, according to the 911 recording. "I was unlocking my phone while I tried to get him to stop," she says in the 911 recording. "I got in front of the car and I was like wait, hold on, my car is moving. Right? And so I tried to get in front of it just to get my baby outside and tell him he can have the car, that I didn't want the car, that I just needed my baby." Police immediately swarmed the area and an all-points-bulletin was issued for the stolen vehicle, officials said. The mother was able to tell police that the suspect was in his early 20s, was wearing gray clothing and a beanie cap, authorities said. Shepherdsville police said the vehicle was spotted in neighboring Hillview, erratically weaving through traffic on northbound Interstate 65. Hillsview Sgt. Kyle McAllister attempted to pull the vehicle over, but the suspect refused to stop, prompting a high-speed chase that hit speeds of nearly 100 miles per hour, according to police. During the pursuit, the suspect lost control of the vehicle and it veered across five lanes of traffic, careened off the roadway, went through a line of trees and came to a stop in a grassy area, Shepherhsville Police Chief Rick McCubbin said at a news conference. As officers dragged the suspect, Joshua Reynolds, 22, from the car and arrested him, McAllister rushed to the baby, finding her unharmed and still in her child's seat with a pacifier in her mouth, according to footage from the officer's body-camera video that was released to the public. "How you doing sweetheart?" McAllister is heard on his body- camera video when he found the girl was safe. Reynolds allegedly told police that he had taken methamphetamine and had been awake for four days when he commandeered the vehicle, according to McCubbin. "Once he realized that there was a 13-month-old little girl in the car, he absolutely had the ability to pull over and stop and end it, but he did not," McCubbin said. Reynolds was arrested on charges of kidnapping, auto theft, evading police, reckless driving, wanton endangerment, driving under the influence and driving without a license. Reynolds, who was on probation for robbery, pleaded not guilty to the charges during his court arraignment on Tuesday. He remained in custody on Thursday at the Bullitt County Detention Center on $10,000 bail. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Eduard Re: Funniest Spam Dear Webby, get a load of this!

So, the first morning back from their honeymoon, Anthony brought Kathy breakfast in bed. Kathy wasn't impressed with his culinary skills, however. She looked disdainfully at the tray, and snorted, "A poached egg? I wanted scrambled!" Undaunted, the next morning, Anthony brought her a scrambled egg. Kathy wasn't having any of it. "Why can't I have some variety? I wanted poached this morning!" Determined to please Kathy, the next morning he brought her two eggs - one scrambled and one poached. "Here, my love... enjoy!" Kathy was furious, "You Bozo, you scrambled the wrong egg!" | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |
Tom was being evaluated for mental problems and was asked by the doctor, "If a train was coming down the hallway toward you, what would you do?" Tom replied, "I would get in my helicopter and fly away!" The doctor then asked, "Where did you get a helicopter from?"

___________________________________________________ Two men were talking one day. "My wife asked me to buy ORGANIC vegetables from the garden market," said the first man. "So were you able to find some?" the second man, asked. "Well when I got to the market, I asked the produce clerk, 'These vegetables are for my wife. Have they been sprayed with any poisonous chemicals?' "The produce clerk said 'No, you'll have to do that yourself.'" ___________________________________________________ Driving through Southern California, I stopped at a roadside stand that sold fruit, vegetables, and crafts. As I went to pay, I noticed the young woman behind the counter was painting a sign. "Why the new sign?" I asked. "My boyfriend didn't approve of the old one," she said. When I glanced at what hung above the counter, I understood. It declared, "Local Honey Dates Nuts." ___________________________________________________ The young man ahead of my father at the flower shop was taking an unusually long time to place his order. When the clerk asked how she could help, he explained that his girlfriend was turning 19 and he couldn't decide whether to give her a dozen roses or 19 roses -- one for each year of her life. The woman put aside her business judgment and advised, "She may be your 19-year-old girlfriend now, but someday she could be your 50-year-old wife." The young man bought a dozen roses. __________________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
