I don't know if this is true, or if a friend is just joking, but he said there is a Florence Car Wash, north of 680, where you can wash, shampoo, and dry you dog at their Pet Wash. Can anyone confirm this?

Don't have an answer for the specific example but I have seen these before. There were a couple of there in Cedar Rapids the years I lived there.

I've taken my dog to several of these. The last time was a gas station with a car wash right by Two rivers state park.

What kind of dog do you have? Does he like it? Play with the water? How strong of a blast is it? Can you control the outflow?

I've got a medium sized mutt, she doesn't like it too much but it gets the job done. You just leash her up on the table and get the hose going, the water temp has always been a comfortable warm and you can choose whether you want shampoo/conditioner and some other stuff. Can't control the outflow though.

Animal Control was called and brought him in. If you’re missing a sheep that enjoys wearing Christmas Sweaters he’s here at NHS. He’s not currently available for adoption, but we’ll let people know when he’ll be available.

Charles Manson’s fiancée wanted to marry him for his corpse: source

I would call off my wedding if I found this out. That's why you need prenuptials I guess.

Too-tall truck stuck at I-680 overpass

The southbound truck stopped when the driver realized that it was too tall to get through.

The stopped truck, which is largely sitting on the shoulder, is blocking part of the right-hand lane of traffic.

From @MeanStreetsOmaha and @TMZ...
Apparently lil Wayne had a seizure on a cross country flight. They made an emergency landing at Eppley. He refused treatment, took off, had another seizure, they turned around and landed again at Eppley and he is now in an Omaha hospital.

I heard that on the dispatch scanner. It was quite amusing.

Yes, there is a "dog wash" connected to the car wash. Mother-in-law has washed her dogs there.

YOUR OUT

Post by nebugeater »

So if you haven't see this strike out from the AA Hartford Yard Goats you have to invest a minute of your life and see this video clip. I believe the game was May 26th

No matter where this guy goes in professional baseball he will have created a situation that will not go forgotten.

Yea, their probably 20+ year old wooden deck likely can't handle the weight of a half dozen full size adults plus patio furniture and grilling equipment. Makes me cringe to think about it.
