Bears in New Hampshire

In a northern part of New Hampshire in a small neighborhood there has been many reports of cars being broken into overnight.  All the cases have come from the same neighborhood and all the car that were broken into see to be alike.  The majority of car that were broken into had a few windows smashed in, dashboard ripped out and the seats torn up.  New Hampshire's wildlife officials and conservation wardens think there is a bear in the neighborhood in search of food.  The officials know this is a big time for bears because they come out of hibernation and are in search of food.

Pythons Found in home

In Santa Ana California a school teach was arrested Wednesday for having hundreds of living and dead pythons in her house.  She had them in bins and just laying out stacked up to the ceiling.  Reporters couldn't even get close to the house because of the awful smell and the people who cleared the snakes out of the house had to wear respirator masks.  A reporter said it was basically a house of horrors because of all the dead snakes.  Someone said that some snakes could be up to a few months old that were there.  4 of the 5 bedrooms were full of snakes and completely infested with mice and insects.  The woman keeping the snakes in her house was a school teacher but also claimed she was involved in a snake breeding business.  This business was called snake morphing.

36 Letter Name

A woman in Hawaii a woman with a 36 letter name has finally after many years gotten her full name on her drivers license.  In previous years she had her name abbreviated on her ID but officials thought it was necessary to get her full name on it.  Janice "Lokelani" Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele (KAY'-ee-hah-nah-EE'-coo-COW'-ah-KAH'-hee-HOO'-lee-heh-eh-KAH'-how-NAH-eh-leh) is the woman's full name. The 54 year old woman is now happy that the Hawaiian ID card can fit 40  letters instead of 35.  The reason she decided to get this fixed was because some police officer gave her a hard time when she got stopped for traffic violations.

Earlier this week reports have come into the transit system at Chicago's O'Hare international airport that a middle aged women has been riding the trains with a two foot alligator with her.  The woman released the alligator into the airport when it was later captured by officials and handed over to people that could properly care for the little critter.  The zookeeper that took in the alligator reported that he was in not good shape at all and was probably not being fed properly.  Currently the middle aged crazy women is on the run but police have visuals on what she looks like has has been coming to the transit around O'Hare a lot in the past month.

ALCS

Sunday night was game two of the American League Championship Series between the Boston Red socks and the Detroit Tigers.  The whole game was dominated by the Tigers and many home runs and players running up the score.  The Red Socks trail 5-1 in the bottom of the 6th inning with no hope or energy coming from their dugout until the bottom of the 8th inning.  Big Papi(David Ortiz) game up to bat with the bases loaded and hit a booming grand slam to tie the game at 5 going into the 9th.  Their mojo continued in the field getting out of the top of the 9th with no damage done.  In the bottom of the 9th inning.  David Ortiz comes up to bat and hits a walk off solo home run for the win.  Hopefully their mojo carries them through the rest of the playoffs.
