So you live out dere in Airy-Zony and you swear you done seen one o' dem dere UFO thingys. Kinda looked like a flying waste basket. Shur didn' look like no airy-plane you ever done sawr.
I am sure it didn't, but that doesn't mean that bug-eyed reptilian ETs are after you. What you most likely saw was a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle). Arizona has the right weather for testing and a huge aerospace industry. These craft are used for border security and by the military in combat zones. They come in all shapes and sizes.

Bitch bites pig. I still have a small scar on my arm from something akin to this.

Two orangutans escaped from two separate zoos yesterday. It is unknown if this is part of a larger conspiracy on our nation's security. FBI may check their cellphone records.


You are going to see some new things this summer at the Olympic Games. Swim wear has gone "hi-tech". With the aid of new suits, 18 world swim records were broken last month. Ah, life in the fast lane.

Finally, if you are a believer in alien visitations, then you might enjoy this.

Over The Limit?
UNDER ARREST!
Please don't drink and drive

"Let's all be careful out there!"
