The Morning Fun Barge with Stafford D Thompson
Stafford Thompson was born and raised in Kearney and Johnson Lake,
and is very familiar with the area. He graduated from Brown Institute
of Broadcasting in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1983. Having met the
beautiful, talented, lovely, intelligent, effervescent and
brimming-with-life Jeanie, Stafford married her and hauled her off
to his first radio job in Alliance, Nebraska. After a couple years,
it was off to Salina, Kansas, where they lived for about 15 years,
raising their three children. Staff and the family moved back to
Johnson Lake in 1998 and have every intention of staying forever.
Full-circle. Back home. Stafford is proud to be your captain.
All Aboard!

Cop Car of the Future? Maybe! I just think it's way cool!

Carbon Motors would like to begin selling this made-to-order police vehicle to your local precinct. No, it's not just a fancily painted Dodge Charger. It's a car all on its own, the E7, made specifically for cops. And since it doesn't exist yet, ex-Ford employees at Carbon Motors are prepared to brag heavily about all the sweet new features:
Diesel powered with 40% better fuel economy than a standard police vehicle, the E7 will still get 0-60 in 6 seconds with a lifespan of nearly 3 times that of standard patrol vehicles. But the even more appealing advantage is its ability to shrug off bullets. Door and dashboard armor will deflect small arms fire up to 9mm. Meanwhile, cops can trace the shooters through infrared cameras that will cut through the cloak of night.
And that fancy paint job you are admiring wouldn't be paint at all, but thermoplastics that can take a lot more abuse from your area's pissed-off teenager with car keys.
Given that the E7's $20,000-$70,000 price tag could make it accessible to the masses, you might want to ditch that "herbal garden" before it's too late. Hit up Popular Mechanics for their other future cop tech.

Praying for Leroy
"Anyone with needs to be prayed over, come forward, to the front at the
altar," the Preacher says.
Leroy gets in line, and when it's his turn, the preacher asks: "Leroy,
what do you want me to pray about for you."
Leroy replies: "Preacher, I need you to pray for my hearing." The preacher
puts one finger in Leroy's ear, and he places the other hand on top of
Leroy's head and prays and prays and prays, he prays a blue streak for
Leroy.
After a few minutes, the Preacher removes his hands, stands back and
asks,"Leroy, how is your hearing now?"
Leroy says, "I don't know, Reverend, it ain't til next
Wednesday!"
