Horse is Not a Designated Driver!

SYLVANIA, Ala. (AP) — A northeast Alabama police chief says D-U-I charges can apply even when the vehicle has four legs instead of wheels. Sylvania Police Chief Brad Gregg said 40-year-old Melissa Byrum York of Henager went for a midnight horseback ride through Sylvania and was charged with driving under the influence and drug offenses. The incident happened Sunday.
Police in the DeKalb County town say she used the horse to ram a police car. She’s also been charged with animal cruelty and second-degree assault.
Gregg also said York had warrants for her arrest in neighboring Jackson County.

Hmmm, sounds like someone should’ve kept their drunk, drugged rear-end at home!

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!

Hershey has introduced two new products - antioxidant milk chocolate and whole bean chocolate. Antioxidants, touted as having health benefits, have previously been found in dark chocolate. Whole bean chocolate includes nutrients found in cocoa beans to create a sweet chocolate that is lower in sugar (about 40 percent) and high in fiber and antioxidants. Both new products come in 3-ounce bars and 4.2-ounce pouches, with suggested retail prices of $1.99 and $2.99. They should be available locally now
