10 Stories ... 12/20/2008

Story 1:
In what has become a holiday tradition, NORAD will track Santa around the world December 24th.  Details from WHNS-TV Greenville, SC.

Story 2:
A 10-year old student was shocked when she tried to plug in her boombox.  Went to the hospital, and the family claims Jesus saved her.  Crazy story from WKYC-TV Cleveland, OH.

Story 3:
The Reading Pagoda is a famous landmark in Reading, PA.  It really strikes out in the background of Pennsylvania countryside.  Well now there is a book made about it.  Story from WFMZ-TV Reading, PA.

Story 4:
A bold burglar stole $2 million worth of jewelry from the rich and famous Paris Hilton.  All done while she was sleeping. Story and details from WPVI-TV Philadelphia, PA.

Story 5:
A bus crash that was just unbelievable to see on TV, 2 charter buses dangled over a I-5 overpass ramp in Seattle, WA.  11 people were treated for minor injuries.  Details from KWTV-TV Oklahoma City, OK.

Story 6:
Instead of me giving an update on Sunday's snowfall, I will let my hometown newspaper do that.  All the information you need to know from The Patriot-News - Harrisburg, PA.

Story 7:
Who isn't guilty of illegal song swapping right?  I am not endorsing it but looks like you can do it now without any legal problems for you.  The music industry has put up the white flag and is giving up trying to bring people to court.  But, I really still would never rest easy with doing it.  Story from The Coastal Current Weekly - South Padre Island, TX.

Story 8:
There is an old saying, "If first you don't succeed, try try again."  Well this person is taking that to heart, but that's not a good thing either.  A college student tried a FOURTH time to jump off a bridge along the Missouri River.  Details from Columbia Daily Tribune - Columbia, MO.

Story 9:
Today is the last regular season home game for the Dallas Cowboys.  And IF (and that is a big IF) they don't make it to the playoffs (which I highly doubt), today will be the last home game for the iconic Texas Stadium.  The team has used the building 'with a hole in it' since 1971.  Story from The News Star - Monroe, LA.

Story 10:
And finally, an update to a story I brought you last week about the Lebanon County man who drove into buildings in Lebanon City.  Well, the guy, or guys since it was 2 different incidents were both charged with DUI.  Story from Lebanon Daily News - Lebanon, PA.

Well I and off and running for this Saturday.  Lunch with my family and then holiday shopping.  Have a great day.
