Voyager 1
Prepare for destruction/invasion/occupation. Voyager 1 will be hitting interstellar space soon, it’s in the outer layer of the heliosphere. She’s got 12 more years till her power supply runs out but that doesn’t matter. Once she gets out there it will shortly be over for us.
Thank you Speedway and Howell Contractors of Kentucky
Thank you Town of Speedway and Howell Contractors Inc of Kentucky, due to your piss poor planning I can park no where remotely near my house. I live on 12th... you have 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, Ford tore up 4 Alleys that are unusable due to their barely 1 lane width nature. You have construction crews parked on our deeded property behind the house with heavy equipment and all of their construction materials, you have construction workers parked on the few close spots on Winton, and the only open spots on Allison are only useable to people already in the spots as the road isn't designed for people to turn around with cars parked on both sides as far as the eye can see, that's why it curves into 12th and has 2 exits via 12th (an Alley and Winton). Anyone feel free to add streets I've missed to this list.

So begins my journey to have to find a parking space and walk home for the next 'several weeks', upside is I can't order pizza and that alone will cause a plummit in weight.

For the discerning individual who appreciates artwork and wine - you now have a great opportunity to meld those together into one piece of artwork that will display your bottle collection like no other wine rack. This will make you the talk of your wine club, HOA, alcoholics anonymous support group, etc...
There are only several times in one's life when one has the opportunity to purchase something that is RIDICULOUSLY COOL. This is one of those moments.
Need something unique? Sure, you could certainly go to the local Mercedes dealership and pick up a G55 or wait until next year's G63 comes out and yes, it would be unique, you'd be the talk of your friends, and ride around in style but it wouldn't be any different than the next G55 or G63 rolling around. Nooooo waaaaaaay man! Those suckers are mass produced!! You see those all over the place in Scottsdale!
What ya need is a one-off piece of artwork that you will not find anywhere else in the metropolitan area and likely - the entire state.
SPECIFICATIONS
Height: 6 feet
Weight: Approx 1,000lbs
Material contents: Used transmission parts from automobiles and motorcycles. There are even parts on the statue that are stamped with the "Ford" logo
Bottle capacity: 32 bottles depending on size of bottle.
All parts used to artistically weld together this stunning piece of artwork have been dipped into a solution to neutralize and remove any oil, grime, or chemicals to ensure there are no corrosive chemicals left. The entire piece was then painted gun metal grey and then clear coated. It has blue LED lights that have been carefully wired into the body all along the leg and up into the torso to the top of the shoulder. There are also LED lights mounted in the "calf" of the leg.Interested in buying this ridiculously awesome wine rack that will push you into celebrity status amongst your peers/neighborhood/human race?

First, this was placed in my mailbox, without postage, not in an envelope. THAT IS A CRIME. U.S. Postmaster General, please file charges.
This is unacceptable. Completely unacceptable. "Starting Monday June 18th, we will close 12th street from Winton Ave. to Allison Ave. Please have all vehicles out of drives and off the road by 8am on Monday. There will be no access to 12th from either Winton or from Allison." ok, then where the hell are we supposed to park. How the %^!# are we supposed to get to our houses? We are NOT parking our vehicles a quarter mile from the house!!! Is Howell Contractors Inc going to be manning litters to carry me back and forth to my house? They are telling me in a letter they put on my door today I can not access my street or driveway for the coming WEEKS.

Tarantulas attack!
I'm just saying... this is insane! Apparently these things are attacking people en masse, jumping out of alleys in packs!
Officials say colonies of giant biting spiders have attacked villagers and sparked panic in remote northeast India. But they say locals' attempts to treat the painful swelling caused by the bites may be more dangerous than the spiders themselves.
