Six Newsstands Vanish, Leaving Owners Bewildered
by KYW’s Mike Dunn
The bizarre case of the missing Philadelphia newsstands has a new twist, as officials learn more about the man who seemingly hired a crane company to move the stands without the permission of their owners. Newsstand owners at six locations — three in Center City, two in West Philadelphia, and one in the Northeast — were shocked Monday morning to show up for work and find their newsstands had vanished into thin air. John Rocco, chairman of the local newsstand association, says a would-be newsstand owner apparently hired a crane operator to take them away:

I went to Kéan today to get more coffee beans. They have the La Lucie, meaning the real La Lucie the way it used to be. Recommend you pick some up if you’re local and like that dark roast Zimbabwean thing.
Neurofeedback today. Brainwaves are getting better (higher beta, lower theta, less gap between).
I thought for two hours that I had lost my “check card” VISA. I hadn’t. It was caught in a snag in a jacket pocket, having fallen out of my wallet.
I read most of the rest of Hardcore Zen today. It’s a damned good book. Thanks, hweimei for the recommendation!
At the angle I can see her, my sleeping cat currently looks like a fuzzy spheroid without features.
“But people don’t do that, especially in Tustin.”
OC Metroblogging has a nice wrapup of a Comedy Central prank played on my dear county, in which local notables found themselves on a panel discussion that slid rapidly downhill.
Long story short they got Ron Burgundied. The full LA Times story is at this link, where you may have to use genital/genital or bugmenot.
The honor of Tustin has been besmirched, and I can’t wait to see it!

According to Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker, we’ve been flying exercise missions off the Iranian coast doing “over the shoulder” nuclear weapons delivery demonstrations for their radar operators. Classy. Also, check out the Rube Goldberg meets Jack D. Ripper technique below:

Electro-Boy Gets Coffee
Laptop use is popular on the outdoor patio at Diedrich, especially since the free wifi went in. There’s only a couple of working plugs at one end of the place, so people who want to sit elsewhere have brought in an indoor/outdoor extension cord. It usually snakes through the bushes and over to the other side and sits near a table.
And then it rains, and the end of the extension cord sits in a puddle. And then a partial solution occurs, kinda at the wrong end for a solution. Yes, I did go unplug it after I shot this.
consumer advice: change your ATM PIN
No, really. Change it. A lot of debit cards have been compromised in a big ripoff due to crap software at large retailers that retained the PIN instead of throwing it away, apparently.
