Super Bowl Sunday

It is Super Bowl Sunday and while I am not a football fan and couldn’t tell you what team is playing who (although our friends at The Captain’s America will be attending today’s game in Florida), I always look forward to the ads….  Who can forget the Budweiser Frogs of years gone by.

This year, a YouTube search of Super Bowl ads brought a new Will Ferrell (yes, Talledega Nights Will Ferrell) movie, Land of the Lost.

For those of you too young to remember when cartoons came on only on Saturday mornings for a couple of hours (and only on three stations at that), here’s a glimpse into the original Land of the Lost:

Gotta love those cheesy 70s Saturday morning special effects!!!

Marijuana found inside concrete pipes

EL PASO, Texas — Customs officers found 957 pounds of marijuana hidden in a truckload of concrete pipes.

The 1993 International tractor trailer from Mexico was X-rayed at the Bridge of the Americas on Friday. The examination revealed anomalies in the cargo that turned out to be 816 packages of the drug, U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Rick Lopez told the El Paso Times.

Officers cut through the concrete pipes to find the marijuana packages encased inside.

CBP officials put the drugs value at $765,000 and said the case was still under investigation.  From Chron.com
