This isn't a baking blog or a ministry blog (but I'll talk about those), and it's not a gardening blog (goodness, no). This is just a blog about anything, and maybe everything, that I'm thinking about right now.

In Today's Strange, But Real, News


Things you should know that have been happening around the world:


A 75 year-old woman in the country of Georgia who was "fishing" for copper, accidentally cut some wires that crashed the internet in the entire country of Armenia.  She has been nicknamed the "Spade Hacker."  She could face up to three years in prison if charged and convicted.


A German mother watched her two year-old ride off on a train without her.  She was unloading her things, including the child's stroller, when the doors to the train closed and the train left the station.  She heard her daughter cry out "Mama!"  She says "It was the worst moment of my life."  She begged authorities to stop the train, but they replied "We can't do that.  It must stay on schedule."  The mother was reunited with her daughter at another station.  The CEO has since apologized personally to the mother.


A prankster in Maryland took apparently took April Fool's a little too far.  Emergency authorities were called to Wal-Mart when a man was glued to a toilet seat.  The seat had to be removed at a nearby hospital. He suffered only minor injuries to his buttocks.
