So, yeah. I don't think any of my friends up in that area were freaking out nearly as bad as AccuWeather.com meteorologist Jim Kosek.

I don't often stand on soapboxes, so please forgive the rant.

Missing Carthage Boy Found Dead
-- Eddie Salazar's Father Accused Of Filing False Report


CARTHAGE, Mo. -- A boy who had been the subject of an Amber alert in west-central Missouri on Friday has been found dead.

Missouri State Water Patrol officers found the body of Eddie Salazar Jr. in Spring River at about 3 p.m. on Saturday.

Police arrested Eddie Salazar Sr. on Friday evening in connection with the disappearance of his son. Carthage Police Chief Greg Dagnan said Salazar has been charged with filing a false report for telling authorities two masked men broke into his house, assaulted him and abducted the 8-month-old baby.


If this turns out to be true -- dude, seriously, there's a special place in hell for you for that. It's bad enough that you killed your son... but getting the whole damned region involved, looking for him -- is shit.

Whenever an Amber Alert comes out -- especially when the circumstances are a little out of the ordinary, there's a thought in the back of the mind that something like this happened. You hope that you're wrong. It sucks being right sometimes.

Yesterday, on my way home, the iPod would play 2 or 3 songs, then fall silent. I checked the display, and it appeared the thing was trying to play the next song, gave up after 5 seconds to go on to the next song, gave up... etc.

Did a restore on it, and all seems well, but that's quite unusual. I hope it's not going out; it's not old enough for that yet.

I could have called the cops. Instead, I'm opting for a public shaming.

My iPod fm tuner shares a frequency with a Topeka radio station. When I get into the car at night, Delilah is usually on.

Anybody mind explaining the point of her show to me?

So, during the Christmas Day sale, I got a "Bag of Crap" from Woot!. (For those who don't know -- Woot! will occasionally just throw random stuff into a box and call it a "Bag of Crap".) Last time I got one, it was a ginormous stereo speaker (which I still need to unload somehow).

For this one... it's on its way to Kansas City. The tracking information says:

Shipment Facts

Service type
FedEx SmartPost

Weight
10.4 lbs/4.7 kg


What the hell are they shipping me that's 10.4 lbs?! The mind wonders...
