Discover Seattle! / Man Has Sex With Picnic Table
Mar 28 08 04:31
[font][font color="#000000" size="2"]BELLEVUE -- Police say a man in Bellevue was caught on tape having sex with a picnic table. [/p] Bellevue Police Captain Matt Johnson says Art Price, Jr., 40, was seen on four occasions between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and noon having sex with his picnic table. What makes this a felony, Johnson says, is that it took place in close proximity to a school, which made it likely that children could have seen Price.[/p] The neighbor -- who wishes to remain anonymous -- saw Price walk out onto his deck, stand a round metal table on its side and use the hole for the umbrella to have sex. [/p] The most recent instance took place March 14, we're told. A neighbor videotaped Price.[/p] "The first video we had, he was completely nude. He would use the hole from the umbrella and have sex with the table," Johnson says.[/p] Police say Price admitted to the crimes -- four charges of public indecency. Usually these sorts of things are misdemeanors, but in this case, they are felonies. [/p] "What boosts it up to a felony is that the statute says if it's likely to be viewed by a minor," Johnson explains.[/p] The Price family did not want to talk with us, but neighbors did. Some are not happy Price was released on his own recognizance.

Discover Seattle! / At What Moment Did You "Grow Up"...or Have You?
Mar 27 08 05:55
Was there a defining moment for you?
I've been thinking about this a lot lately.
*sniff*
[span style="text-decoration: underline;"]Mine is occurring now because my parents have sold their house. [/span]They are looking for a condo, but don't have one yet.
I was storing a ton of stuff in their basement (our current home is very small).
I was receiving mail and packages at their address (more secure than mine).
We used to come over and stay every time we had an "emergency" (power failure, plumbing problem) or renos.
We moved in for a bit 10yrs ago when we had financial problems.
None of these things are a big deal, but it's an emotional idea...Mom and Dad's House was my safety net.

[font face="Verdana,Sans-serif"][font color="black" size="2"][span id="article"][span id="intelliTXT"]EDFORD HILLS, N.Y. (AP) - A Global Positioning System can tell a driver a lot of things - but apparently not when a train is coming. A computer consultant driving a rental car drove onto train tracks Wednesday using the instructions his GPS unit gave him. A train was barreling toward him, but he escaped in time and no one was injured.[/p]The driver had turned right, as the system advised, and the car somehow got stuck on the tracks at the crossing. He jumped out and tried to warn the engineer by waving. He got out of the way just before the train slammed into the car at 60 mph, Metro-North railroad spokesman Dan Brucker said Thursday.[/p]
