Incredulously Strange News Stories

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.

[Coyote]

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?

[Linkin5]

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.

Here’s something we don’t see every day! Over the weekend this sheep was found wandering the streets of Omaha spreading Christmas Cheer in his holiday sweater! 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.

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

Not really strange, but what the heck...

Too-tall truck stuck at I-680 overpass

http://omaha.com/index.php?u_page=2798&u_sid=10594958" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A semi-trailer truck hauling a grain scale from Minnesota to Louisiana is stopped under the overpass at Interstate 680 and Pacific Street this afternoon.

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.

Crisis averted tonight!

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.

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.

Century-old film believed to be lost forever turns up in Omaha parking lot



A century-old silent film believed to have been lost forever turned up in an Omaha parking lot – where it was auctioned off to an unassuming collector for a whopping $20. “The Pill Pounder” will be screened for the first time in 101 years at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival next month after Kansas City filmmaker Gary Huggins scooped it up with a stack of film reels last year. Huggins didn’t know the significance of his $20 haul but was shocked when he viewed one of the films and spotted actor Clara Bow, one of the biggest stars of the silent era whose name now lends itself to the title of a song on Taylor Swift’s forthcoming album.

He later learned it was the missing 1923 comedy short. “It was the best $20 I’ve ever invested, for sure,” Huggins told WOWT-TV. “That was a big rush when I realized it was a Clara Bow.” Clara Bow’s biographer David Stenn shared Huggins’ excitement over the incredible find, describing her as the “It Girl” of the late 1920s and the first sex symbol in American film.
