Sometimes you’ll hear me complaining about how I wished I lived in the city, or at least close to a larger city than Las Cruces since the streets pretty much close up at 9pm.

I just read a news article that was published on Friday on MSN under the peculiar news category. Apparently a hair stylist shot her client after the client complained about the hair cut!
Lauren Newton, 28, was getting her hair cut Thursday at the home of Monique Reed when the two began to argue about the […]

Finally a parent who isn’t afraid to be a parent:
After finding alcohol in her son’s car, she decided to sell the car and share her 19-year-old’s misdeed with everyone — by placing an ad in the local newspaper.

I’m seriously thinking some people watched Weekend at Bernie’s just one too many times here:
NEW YORK - Two men wheeled a dead man through the streets in an office chair to a check-cashing store Tuesday and tried to cash his Social Security check before being arrested on fraud charges, police said.
