I thought the Marathoners blew up the bridge to try to keep the Bobcats further south.....

A taxi driver reported to police that a rival company's driver sprayed her in the face with a water gun while she was driving, almost causing an accident.

Was she sure it was water???

 

[Bobcat]

EWWWWW!

The two men who hijacked Capt. Hams Baumgarten's boat and threw him overboard were charged with murder.

 

[Bobcat]

I had to look up the story.

Hans Baumgarten, 56, ignored warnings from other Key West boat captains and agreed to take two Cubans deep-sea fishing when they flashed a wad of cash. The next day, his body was found floating at sea. Rivas and a buddy were soon captured in Baumgarten's 23-foot boat, the Cowboy II.

Rivas, who claimed to have arrived by raft in Florida a year before the 1992 killing, was desperate to get back to Cuba. But the fishing boat ran out of fuel. Baumgarten's death was pointless.

''It was not a pretty death,'' Roy said. ''He was slowly tortured. It took him at least four hours before he died of hypothermia. He had to stay out there in that big lonely sea knowing there was no chance of anyone finding him. Rivas deserves no better.'

SAD

I had to go look it up too. Rivas was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. He then escaped and was recaptured in 1995 along with four others it looks like. All scumbags.......

In the TMI file........
Every time I got called to jury duty in Marathon, Gary was also on the list. However, his wife always showed up to say he was sick.
I don't think he lives here anymore.

We have a two day charity softball tournament this weekend......drinking is encouraged . As soon as they see my bloodshot eyes and puke bucket, they'll send me away !!

Good plan........chances are everyone will show up that way. I should have thought of that when I had to show up in kw for the Seacamp Internet Porn show (trial). That adventure will be chapter 9 in my book.
