Why would Tiger Wood's wife use a golf club when the door wasn't blocked?

There's something strange about the whole Tiger Woods accident, when you read CNN it says:

Police Chief Daniel Saylor said two Windermere police officers were the first to arrive on the scene.

"There was Tiger Woods laying on the ground in front of the vehicle with his wife over him rendering first aid," he told reporters.

"He was in and out of consciousness with lacerations to his upper and lower lip," Saylor said. "He was mumbling but didn't say anything coherent."

Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, told the police she was inside the house when she heard the accident. She said she went outside and used a golf club to break out the rear window of the vehicle, then pulled him from the SUV.

Yet when you look at the pictures here it looks as if the passenger side of the truck is completely accessible...

After thinking this, apparently I'm not alone, I did some searching and TMZ is reporting:

Tiger has yet to be formally interviewed by the Florida Highway Patrol -- that should happen this afternoon. But we're told Tiger had a conversation Friday -- with a non-law enforcement type -- detailing what went down before his Escalade hit a fire hydrant.

We're told he said his wife had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman. The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up. We're told it was then Woods beat a hasty retreat for his SUV -- but according to our source, Woods says his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away, she struck the vehicle several times with the club.

And a more recent update suggests Tiger's wife has changed her story.

Tuxedo or Jellicle cats...

The amusing things people believe when it comes to one particular kind of cat caught my attention, in part because my home is experiencing a cat war because of a tuxedo cat. First most of the cats people call "tuxedo cats" are not really so, to be a true tuxedo cat, the cat has to have a solid black coat with white fur on the paws, belly, chest and throat. In other words, it has to look like the cat is actually wearing a tuxedo.

Fans of these cats have made some outrageous statements, such as tuxedo cats are 200% more intelligent than other cats and that the google search term for tuxedo cats is slightly less than Paris Hilton. I've had many cats, the variations of their intellectual ability has never appeared to have been a factor...if anything my Siamese cats appeared to be smarter than the others, or at least more crafty...

These black and white cats are also called by some to be Jellicle Cats, based on the book Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, written by T. S. Eliot, which of course inspired the musical "Cats."

Our tuxedo cat is named "Yoko" and some of you will remember how I ended up with her living here in disharmony with my other cats. Yes, this is the cat that my ex-husband bought for my youngest without my consent and left in a taped up box on my porch because he moved into an apartment that didn't take cats and couldn't be responsible enough to either a) find a home for the cat or b) rent someplace that allowed cats. Perhaps because she was used to being an only cat or perhaps just because she's so much younger than my other cats (who range in age from 8 to 18), she picks on them, to the point three of them are afraid to use the litter boxes in the basement because she was lying in wait for them and then attacking them when they tried to use it. This has caused a great deal of hassle, and discussion which resulted in creating a Yoko free zone, which is unfortunately my bedroom. At least until we move into the house we are renovating that won't be done for months, but perhaps then since the house is twice as big as the one we have now, either there will be more peace or a bigger area for her to be territorial over...

They were not victims of home foreclosure, it was greed

I stopped watching Extreme Home Makeover, because it became too frustrating to watch families who had homes, albeit bad ones, receive an overload of help when the reality is there are families who are homeless and/or renting in situations where the American Dream is never going to be theirs. It seemed as if with the money being spent on these Make Overs that many families could be helped instead of just one.

Reading the news that the Harper Family had decided rather than to appreciate a rent free home and money given to them to help keep them in their home that they would mortgage it to start up a construction business, which failed. Now the home that the many volunteers built will end up on the auction block.

So, it wasn't the home foreclosure crisis that hit the Harper's, it was their own greed...

Imagine how many families could have been helped with the money wasted on the Harper's....

Don't worry the world as we know it will end in 2012?

Gee, I guess the question is who do you want to be the last president of the United States if those who believe that the Apocalypse is coming in 2012, are correct. Supposedly thousands are preparing which creates some interesting speculation.

If they are wrong, as many have been before then what? If they are right, can you really prepare to survive beyond what is supposed to be the end of the world? Apparently some believe so, which makes it seem clear only those who have the resources would survive:

"You have to understand, there will be nothing, nothing left," Geryl told ABC News from his home in Antwerp, Belgium. "We will have to start an entire civilization from scratch."

First, a polar reversal will cause the north to become the south and the sun to rise in the west. Shattering earthquakes, massive tidal waves and simultaneous volcanic eruptions will follow. Nuclear reactors will melt, buildings will crumble, and a cloud of volcanic dust will block out the sun for 40 years. Only the prepared will survive, Geryl said, and not even all of them.

Survival sounds almost clique like:

Geryl said the group has recently zeroed in on a location, but won't reveal his find for fear of tipping off rival survival groups in the United States and Canada.

It will be interesting 4 years and 168 days from now to look back:

When asked what would happen if December 2012 were to come and go without the earthquakes and tsunamis of his predictions, Geryl fell silent.

"I don't really contemplate that possibility," he said. "[My predictions] are so spectacular, they can't possibly be wrong."

Personally this feels like the Y2K scammers out there who suckered people into buying water purifiers and other items along with the clique atmosphere of only the "special" will be allowed to "survive".

Clearly someone needs to let Poland know, so they can stop planning for the Euro 2012 .

One of the many videos out there stating the end date of December 12, 2012 that interestingly has the leader of Iran as the "anti-christ".



And of course what's interesting that the ABC News story doesn't go into detail on is that the Mayan calendar does not end on December 21, 2012....:

In a nut shell the Mayan calender does not end in 2012. It only rolls over to the next 'millenium' or whatever the Mayan version is.

Of course, news actually reporting on news rather than trying to increase peoples fears would be a novel concept....I remember how the media contributed to the Y2K hype...

Okay, I've seen lots of shoes missing feet but?

This story caught my eye from Reuters:

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Another severed human foot has been discovered washed ashore on Canada's Pacific coast, but police are no closer to solving the gruesome mystery.

The foot, still wearing a shoe, was discovered on Thursday on a small uninhabited island south of Vancouver in the Strait of Georgia, and is the fourth discovered in the region in the past 10 months.

The previous cases all involved right feet still in sneakers, and each was found on a different island.

In doing a bit more leg work (sorry couldn't resist) I discovered:

Police have made no arrests in any of the cases, although there are various theories that organized crime is involved.

And:

Curtis Ebbesmeyer, a former professor of oceanography at the University of Washington who studies floating objects, said when the third foot was found that the feet could have drifted from as far as 1,000 miles away. Ebbesmeyer said the feet could have been severed or detached from their bodies on their own.

You'd think someone turning up missing a foot might be noticed, especially since no other body parts have been found. In the meantime? I'd suggest if you are going near the coast of Canada? Watch your step...
