FYI
If anyone knows how this old style bumper car works the pole goes up to a eclectic grid for the electrical power it needs. Unless with today's technology it has been converted to a electric car.
Company rents pets to animal lovers
No time for a pet? Then rent one. A California company has begun offering FlexPetz, a new service for dog-lovers who just don't have the time to care for a pet, or the space.
The "shared dog" service is available in Los Angeles and San Diego. Its founder hopes to open new locations in San Francisco next month, New York in September and London by the end of the year. Hanging out with man's best friend has a price. The annual fee runs about 100 dollars a year. FlexPetz customers then make a monthly payment of about 50 dollars. The FlexPetz founder says only dogs with social temperaments are picked for the program. The current ten-dog crew includes Afghan hounds, Labrador retrievers and Boston terriers.
Christmas in July?
ATM Gives Out Too Much Money
July 28, 2007
MANSFIELD, La. (AP) - An ATM at a northwest Louisiana truck stop gave out $20 bills instead of $5s, but authorities say they know who used it and plan to purse the extra $7,000 the machine spit out.
DeSoto Parish Sheriff's Lt. Toni Morris said the automated teller machine has records showing who the 26 people are who received the extra cash during five days in late June and early July.
Annette Parker, a supervisor at Eagle's Truck Stop, said she unplugged the machine after overhearing conversations about the excess payments.
"The next morning when we had come back in, someone had plugged it back up," she said.
Morris said someone who did not work at the truck stop may have rigged the machine, which keeps records of when the money was taken and by who.
Morris said charges could be brought against the people who got more money than they were debited for.

What's for Dinner......?
A Singaporean western food stall named Yishun offers exotic dishes in the form of crocodile steaks and crocodile feet since this April. Crocodile meat is actually very delicious even though it looks frightening.
A crocodile steak costs SGD18 (approx. US$12), while a crocodile foot costs SGD35 (approx. US$23).
If you are in Singapore and wanna pay a visit the food eatry, don't forget to take the rough skin and nails of the crocodile foot back home as a souvenir after the meal. Link
