This is absolutely nuts. The e-cigarette scourge is has become so virulent that even the squirrels are apparently getting hooked on vaping. In a viral video circulating online, a gray squirrel is seen toting an automated smoking device while perched on a fence in Brixton, South London, the Telegraph reported. The tobacco-toting treehopper was clutching the dMeanwhile, in October, TikTok user @tts_tiktok22 posted a video of a squirrel in Philadelphia gnawing on what looks like an Elfbar.evice between its paws while appearing to chew on it, evoking the automated version of NYC’s infamous cigarette-smoking cockroach. Meanwhile, in October, TikTok user @tts_tiktok22 posted a video of a squirrel in Philadelphia gnawing on what looks like an Elfbar. However, these squirrels were likely not attracted to the nicotine, but rather the fruity smells wafting up from it, experts said. “In the old days, you’d see lots of discarded cigarette butts, but I don’t remember squirrels running around with them,” Craig Shuttleworth, a red squirrel expert at Bangor University in Wales, told the outlet. “It would be reasonable to assume that a vape would be more attractive than a normal tobacco product that’s not fruity.” more at https://nypost.com/2026/03/24/science/squirrels-are-vaping-e-cigarettes-mistaking-aromas-for-food/

A USPS mailman faces a new charge after shoving a Jewish boy in an attack caught on camera, as police finally reveal his identity. Gabriel Stan, 39, of Stony Point, New York, got handed a felony second-degree attempted assault charge on top of his two initial misdemeanor charges on Friday for his alleged attack on the four-year-old boy. He was hit with the new charge due to the child's age being under seven, the Rampo Police Department said. The disturbing confrontation unfolded on Thursday evening in Monsey, in Rockland County, about 30 miles north of New York City, where surveillance footage saw the young child approaching a parked mail truck. more at https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/India/usps-mailman-who-shoved-boy-faces-fresh-charge-as-police-finally-reveal-suspect-s-identity/ar-AA1Z87rR

if it is any consolation, my boy reported water under the sink today. it turns out the garbage disposal - a badger 500 (1/2 horsepower) that i put in about 7-8 years ago, has decided to start leaking. good thing i had the foresight to put cleaning totes (in which i put all the cleaning supplies and so on) under the sink in case i did have any water leaks, as they caught the water dripping and none was able to damage the wood cabinet. it turns out that badgers are a lower name brand of InSinkErator, the main difference between badger and InSinkErator being the badger is a lower price and with a galvanized chamber (which eventually rusts and then leaks) instead of a stainless steel one. replacement is a moen 3/4 horsepower "Host Series EX75C" which has a 10 year warranty and a stainless chamber. price difference between this and another badger 500 - about $30. i get to swap them out tonight when i get home from doing a swing shift, yay!

On a busy, gritty street in suburban Los Angeles, the white one-story stucco building looked like any other. Among the apartments, offices, sidewalk bodegas, the only defining feature was the building's door – a thick, solid slab of dark oak with a small, security grill about six inches square. "Is Dr. Faustina here," I asked. "This is his address of record with the medical board." A face appeared in the cutout, "He doesn't work here." That's odd, I thought, considering multiple home healthcare agencies at this address had billed Medicare more than $40 million dollars using 87-year-old Dr. Gilbert Faustina's Medicare number, according to federal records. Yet as multiple state and federal audits have shown, healthcare fraud in Los Angeles is big business, with taxpayer losses estimated at $3.5 billion. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are demanding federal inspectors exercise stronger oversight to combat what they call "large scale fraud" with patients receiving inappropriate or nonexistent care, with doctors signing off on patient care plans having never met the patient, and hospice and home health providers using multiple licenses to 'shuffle' patients from one agency to another to escape state and federal audits. more at https://www.foxnews.com/us/la-medicare-fraud-doctor-provider-number-billing-probe

KLEIN, Texas — A man dressed in military-style clothing and carrying a holstered firearm entered Zwink Elementary School in Spring Tuesday, prompting a multi-agency investigation that led to a felony arrest, according to court documents and a letter from school officials. Kyle Najm Chris, also known as Muhi Mohanad Najm, 39, of Klein, was charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, a third-degree felony, which prohibits carrying weapons on school premises. The Harris County District Attorney accepted the charges, and Chris was arrested at around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. According to the criminal complaint, Chris entered the front office of Zwink Elementary, which is located off Spring Stuebner and Frassati, at around 1:30 p.m. after slipping through the front entrance when another visitor failed to fully secure the door behind them. A school employee told investigators Chris was wearing full green military or tactical law enforcement attire, including a load-bearing vest, a taser and a holstered firearm. more at https://www.khou.com/article/news/crime/man-enter-spring-elementary-school-armed-court-docs-show/285-941acaf7-09c3-4666-b479-0a8dafed017b

An 11-year-old boy accused of fatally shooting his father inside their Pennsylvania home made his first court appearance Thursday, about a month after the deadly incident. Clayton Dietz, 11, is charged as an adult with criminal homicide in the Jan. 13 shooting death of his adoptive father, 42-year-old Douglas Dietz. The shooting happened in the family’s Duncannon home on the child’s birthday. According to a Perry County criminal docket, Dietz waived his preliminary hearing on Feb. 19, and the case was marked "waived for court," meaning it will proceed to the Court of Common Pleas. The docket shows bail was denied Jan. 13, and Dietz remains confined at the Perry County Prison. Local outlet WHP reported that Dietz arrived at the Perry County Courthouse in New Bloomfield just after noon for his scheduled 1:30 p.m. preliminary hearing. He was handcuffed and surrounded by probation officers as he entered the courtroom, the outlet noted. more at https://www.foxnews.com/us/11-year-old-accused-adoptive-dads-birthday-night-killing-over-video-game-now-faces-adult-trial-docs
