* MINDEN-NV - Adventurer Steven Fossett and the single engine plane he was flying are missing. Fossett has set a number of aviation records- a solo flight around the world without refueling was one of the most spectacular.
Steve Fossett has lived his life to the fullest- here's hoping it's not tragically over.
* BOISE-ID - One could debate what is worse- a perverted hypocrite or a flaming liar. Idaho has both in Larry Craig- who- after his guilty plea in the Minneapolis airport bathroom sex sting and resigned his Senate seat- has incredulously announced he may "reverse that decision."
There was no immediate confirmation that even Idaho's potatoes are embarrassed by the man.
* CABO SAN LUCAS-MEXICO - Central America is reeling after 2 hurricanes made landfall in the same day on Tuesday. As of the latest AP dispatch from the region- 3 have died after historic Hurricane Felix came ashore in eastern Nicaragua. On the other hand- less-intense Hurricane Henriette made landfall on the southern tip of Mexico- and it's remnants will affect the southwestern- then Central U.S. over the next few days.
* SYDNEY-AUSTRALIA - The guy who thinks he's America's king has darkened the skies for our friends 'Down Undah.' President Duyba says he's going to "hang in there" regarding his Folly in Iraq and encourages Australians to make sacrifices for his blunder.
Protesters commenting on Dubya's quote says they wish he'd just drop the "in there" part- then do it- offering both rope and chair in the spirit of goodwill. I LOVE Australia!
* NEW YORK-NY - It's reported an estimated 13000 cabs are idle due to a 2-day cab driver's strike. Oddly- not many New Yorkers were affected since most can't get a cab anyway...
* LONDON-ENGLAND - "All Brits and visitors to England should have a sample of their DNA on file" says a cloned English judge.
* KANSAS CITY-MO - Rumors abound over a grassroots petition drive that will soon be underway to build a barrier and tollbooths between the Missouri and Kansas sides of the Kansas City Metro.
One of the drafters of the petition- I.M. Cidding- says the initiative was inspired by the Kansas suburbs' inability to work with the Missouri side on anything beneficial for the whole area- as well as stealing the tax base with their own corporate welfare- inconsiderate driving on Missouri roads and general snobiness.
