After selling his RV and truck for nearly $23,000 in cash this past August, a man in Ashland, Oregon, placed his haul in a shoebox. The low-security solution was temporary. He planned to spend the cash on a new vehicle a few days later. Unfortunately, his wife didn't get the memo and chucked the container in the recycling bin, then brought it to the curb. By the time the couple realized their mistake, the money had traveled to a recycling center in California. After the facility received a panicked call explaining the situation, an employee spotted stacks of $20 bills moving along a conveyor belt and called the waste management facility in Ashland to alert them that the cash had been recovered.

Love is a fire that will never die.

Speaker 4:

It lights the stars up in the sky Through every tear and every glow. It's the rhythm our hearts always know. Love will be around forever, through the highs and stormy weather. When the trumpets sound the call, love will rise and never fall.

Speaker 3:

Hold it close, let the saxophone sigh.

Speaker 4:

Feel the melody of you and I. The hammond whispers through the night Telling us it's gonna be alright. Even when the world turns cold and stories fade as time grows old, the heartbeat of love will remain. In every joy, in every pain. Love will be around forever, through the highs and stormy weather.

Speaker 3:

When the trumpets sound, the call Love will rise and never fall.

Speaker 4:

So let the brass keep singing strong and the organ play a timeless song. Loves the tune that leads us home. Forever in harmony, never alone.

Going nuts. It seemed like the animal kingdom headed in for Pittsburgh's Chris and Holly Persick. An hour after Chris's vehicle broke down last October, his wife called to report a burning smell was coming from her own car's engine. When she popped the hood, she found it filled with walnuts more than 200 in total. An enterprising neighborhood squirrel squad had been storing nuts for the winter. They had chewed through a wire in Chris's truck for good measure. While Chris eventually repaired his wire, holly got to temporarily enjoy the scent of roasting nuts.

When the Kankakee Illinois Sheriff's Office posted a photo of 26-year-old Brandon Conte wanted for a DUI on their Facebook page the day before Halloween. They were hoping for tips on his whereabouts. Instead they got a comment from Conte himself. Appalled, he wrote Where's my costume? The office responded by editing a sailor's suit onto Conte's mugshot, complete with a cap that read A-H-O-Y. That's awesome. Conte commented the next day Red. A-h-o-y, that's awesome. Condi commented the next day I'll be there. Before noon. Condi turned himself in and was released on bail later the same day, with enough time left to trick or treat.

Spinning wheels, no sign of stopping. Grind the gears. Chaos is popping, sunrises falls, can't catch the day. Fast turning world won't fade away. Round, spinning round. Faster than light. Chasing shadows, an endless fight, no catching up, no slowing down. Faster than world. Where's the crowd? Clocks ticking loud, field and bite, Stealing moments from day and night. Crowds rushing through in unseen streams. Fast turning world shatters my dreams. Horse spinning, high Sacks taking lead, trumping whales, answers to the need, rivers pounding hard. Can't let up Fresh-cutting wall. Yeah, I've had it now. Let the trumpet hit high, furious, burst Sacks, tears through wild, unleashing thirst. Heaven swells warm, electric cries. The Bye, guitar solo, double Trouble.

In March, a single mother in the Brazilian state of Goias went to court to secure child support payments from a deadbeat dad. In the end, she got twice what she bargained for from a deadbeat dad. In the end, she got twice what she bargained for. The child's DNA matched that of a set of identical twins, each of whom denied being the father the twins' attempts to shirk responsibility were thwarted, however, when Judge Felipe Luis Perico ordered that both men pay up and be listed as the youngster's parent, giving her two dads for the price of one.

Speaker 3:

I'm lost in a crowd, in a hotel room with a thousand people, and it feels like I'm alone. It feels like I'm alone. They say I don't understand. I say I just ain't got the time. I say I just ain't got the money, just ain't no way. And the lights go out, the shades are drawn, and it feels like I'm alone. It feels like I'm alone. They say I don't understand. I say I just ain't got the time. I say I just ain't got the money, just ain't no way. In the morning, in the morning, in the morning, in the morning, in the morning, in the morning, I lay in my bed, there's a hundred voices inside my head and it feels like I'm alone. It feels like I'm alone. It feels like I'm alone. Thank you, guitar solo. I lay in my bed, there's a hundred voices inside my head and it feels like I'm alone. It feels like I'm alone.

In late January, 50-year-old Robert Shull Goddard smashed the glass on the back door of a Nashville home and stole a television and firearm, but accidentally left behind incriminating evidence. City police arrested the orderly burglar after he dropped a notebook full of identifying clues. The journal contained a list of other targets, including the address of a house a few miles away that was robbed that same day. It also featured a note from his daughter, as well as her home address. Doudard was convicted of aggravated burglary in late March and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Proving crime can sometimes be a little too organized.

Speaker 3:

The sun slips low paints the sky red.

Speaker 4:

Paints the sky red, cactus shadows when coyotes have tread the desert whispers as the stars appear Come closer. Darling, Keep the cold at bay out here. Put a log on the fire, let the warm glow rise.

Speaker 3:

We'll chase away the chill beneath these open skies.

Speaker 4:

Beneath these open skies. Hold me tight Under blankets of the night. Cuddle up to me, make everything feel right guitar solo Sage of brushways. Midnight breeze and your laughter dances. On nights like these, the vast, wide open. Yet it feels so small when it's just you and me, nothing else at all. Put a log on the fire.

Speaker 3:

Let the warm glow rise. We'll chase away the chill beneath these open skies.

Speaker 4:

Hold me tight under blankets of the night. Cuddle up to me, make everything feel right. Ashes crumble. The hours drift by your breath, steady Like a lullaby. Our shadows mingle in a soft fire. Like you, there's nowhere I'd rather be than right here with you. Right here with you, put a log on the fire. Let the warm glow rise. Chase away the chill beneath these open skies. Hold me tight under blankets of the night. Cuddle up to me, make everything feel right.
