Here is a funny story that is moving across various news wires and has appeared on a few news websites. I happened to be at work when this came across the police scanner.
Cops: Drunk took mower to store in snow
ADRIAN, Mich. (AP) — A man was charged with drunken driving after going through two bottles of wine, cutting through a snowstorm on his lawn mower and riding down the center of the street to reach a liquor store, authorities said.
Police found Frank Kozumplik, 49, homeward bound on a John Deere tractor Saturday night, toting four bottles of wine in a paper bag, officials said.
He told officers that his wife had taken their car to work, and that the mower was the only way he could reach the store, two miles from home.
His blood alcohol level was 2 1/2 times Michigan's legal driving limit of 0.08 percent, police told WLEN-FM. They arrested him and confiscated the mower.
Kozumplik declined to comment Monday night.

Another interesting story but completely unrelated had to do with a couple in Monroe naming their baby girls Kaline and Whitaker - after former Detroit Tiger players Al Kaline and Lou Whitaker.
It seems these days people are willing to name their kids aanything of interest to them. A pair of Ohio State fans named their kid Tressell Hayes after the two Ohio State football coaches.
