Disaster Day Eve - 9/10/14

Will this be known as Disaster Eve? Am I concerned, YES, could it happen, YES, not sure if it will, but, someone is concerned. Could just have been a casual comment in a blog .... but?

A BLAH day so far, cloudy day, gray out, my coffee had a load of grounds in it, some caught in my throat, made me cough, coughed on my morning coffee, never a good sign. Stares, have had a few spells of the "stares" so far this morning, just blank ones, no thoughts running through the mind.

I think Obama is going to speak to the nation tonight, at least he is not going to interrupt Drew Carey on the Price is Right. I won't listen, to me his speeches are just "dead air time." His words have credibility to me whatsoever. I imagine many people with "hot air" balloons will be filling their crafts up tonight, Hot air will be running rampant.

ISIS is still a mystery to me. Who are they and where did they come from? I was not aware of them not too long ago, and, all of a sudden, there they were, and a threat to us. I guess I dozed off, probably another one of those "stare" days.

Stores are filled with pumpkins and Halloween costumes already. Tons of candy, racks of costumes and some neat items, scary items, I have not seen before. May have to get one or two for the grandkids .... one ..... scary hand, pointed at me as I walked by .... and .... yelled BOO.

FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — Authorities have arrested a Southern California man they say stole the same Ferrari — twice.The Riverside Press-Enterprise says Earnie Hooks of Los Angeles was arrested last week behind the wheel of the $250,000 car. Court records say he's pleaded not guilty to car theft and resisting police. Police in Fontana, 50 miles east of LA, say they stopped Hooks at a drunken driving checkpoint on Aug. 29 and discovered that the black 2014 Ferrari 458 Spider he was driving had been reported stolen. Police claim Hooks drove away from the checkpoint and later abandoned the car, which was impounded. But around 3 a.m. the next morning, someone stole it from the impound lot. Hooks was arrested five days later while driving the Ferrari in his Studio City neighborhood.

NEW YORK (AP) — A condo development in New York City's pricey SoHo neighborhood is charging for a parking spot as much as it would cost to buy a nice house in Dallas or Seattle — $1 million. The New York Times reports the 10 underground spots at 42 Crosby St. will cost more per square foot than the apartments upstairs. The parking spots will run between $5,000 and $6,666 a square foot. The three-bedroom apartments will cost around $8 million to $10 million, or about $3,100 a square foot.
