Remember that these events really happened:

  1. Man trying to break into Florida spy store caught on camera
  2. Police: Dispute over snow removal ends with tires shot out

  3. Town’s only snowplow driver quits, so residents grab shovels

  4. Woman mistakenly prayed to Lord of the Rings elf

  5. Man Buys Single Fish For More Than Half A Million Dollars

Lessons learned or thoughts to be had:

  • Never steal from a store specializing in surveillance..
  • No snow removal dispute is worth a bullet..
  • One snowplow driver for an entire town? Time to think about a back up plan..
  • Know about the Gods that you pray to..
  • How can a fish be worth half a million dollars?..

Happy New Year!
