    Aggressive turkeys interfere with mail delivery (link)

    Mail carriers are attempting to deliver the mail, but they have nothing to steer the turkeys away. Residents have had to pick their mail up at the post office.

    The city can’t eradicate the turkeys under the city’s ordinance, [Rocky River Mayor Pam] Bobst said, so a letter was sent out this week to residents asking them to stop putting out any kind of bird food. –Cleveland.com

    Neither rain, nor sleet, nor corn-bread stuffing shall stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

    The Chicago Tribune headline:

    ‘Rogue importer’ diverted shipment of Mexican cheese to pay off debt, lawsuit says

    The lawsuit comes suspiciously close to this death last week. Coincidence?

    Actual headline:

    Man under arrest hands cop ‘Get out of jail free’ Monopoly card

    Usually, articles like this conclude with the immortal phrase, “Authorities believe alcohol was involved.”

    Our hero apparently uses other substances.

    Deputies ran the passenger’s ID and learned that he was wanted on a controlled substance warrant, news station KARE reported.

    When they searched his person, officers found the ace up his sleeve: the Monopoly card.

    The resourceful suspect told officers that he kept the board game card handy “just in case.”

    Unfortunately for him, police did not accept his Monopoly card and took him to an actual jail. —Fox News, link here

    It introduces a story on, believe it or not, matzoh ball ramen at a restaurant called “Shalom Japan.”

    The story is here, at Circa.

    The place is in Brooklyn, the epicenter of hip these days.

    The owners: a Jewish husband and Japanese wife.

    Don’t know if it’s open on Christmas.
