Stupid things you saw on Nextdoor

[O2HeN2]

The local Colorado Springs news (KOAA at least) has been fawning over some Pueblo student (pillar of the community, everyone likes him, blah, blah, blah) who was severly injured when a firework he was lighting went off prematurely. KOAA helpfully supplied a pointer to the go fund me account that the family setup to help with medical bills.

My take: Self inflicted, he doesn't deserve it.

Unfortunately [IMHO] the go fund me account has exceeded its goal. Oh well, nowadays there's a sucker born every 30 seconds.

Posted to Nextdoor by West Metro Fire:

Over the 4th of July holiday this year, West Metro responded to nine fires caused by fireworks, including this one in the 3300 block of South Newcombe in Lakewood. Fireworks caught the fence on fire and the flames traveled to the homes on either side.

West Metro crews responded to two more fires on Thursday that were sparked by fireworks. The one pictured- in the Bear Creek Greenbelt near Estes Street and West Cornell Avenue. Another fire - in the 2500 block of South Sheridan. Again - our district is under high fire danger right now.

I'm all for freedom, but the people shooting these fireworks off in crowded subdivisions are idiots, and I hope they get ticketed.

"I am a disabled senior with a very large (14lb) cat who has very long and very thick fur.
I have the clippers; I just need someone to help me use them to shave her back legs and the area around her butt. Dingleberries and carpet disguised as toilet paper ...."

Sign me right up for that rodeo.

I think we have a winner here:

"Strange happenings in our skies
A little before 9:30pm tonight I heard the sound of an approaching helicopter and went out on my deck to check it out. I saw it approaching from the southwest and it was heading northeast. As it was flying past a little to the west of my house on Bow Mountain Rd, I saw it deploy what I suspect was a drone. As the helicopter flew on, it deployed a second, and finally a third. They hovered in place for a short while. Once the helicopter was gone, there was no sound whatsoever from these objects. I watched for a while as the first and third object flew east and the second headed west. The third craft flew directly over my house but no sound was heard.

This was very strange. Did anyone else happen to see this or know what this might be? I'd really like to know."

FYI this is a bit west of the north end of Boulder in the foothills.

They are probably looking for me. But I outsmarted them again...
