New Hampshire might be one of the last places you’d expect a gator to turn up. But Fish & Game officers seized an American Alligator as well as an opossum from a home in Claremont recently and shared photos on social media.

Weekend rental red Ferrari wipes out, flips in Chicago

Chicago firefighters responded to a one-vehicle crash on Lake Shore Drive expressway involving an expensive red Ferrari that was a weekend rental.

The vehicle was being driven by a 22-year-old man around 12:45 a.m. Saturday, according to a report.

They were in the northbound lanes of the road which runs alongside the Lake Michigan shoreline when they wiped out at a curve, the station reported. The vehicle then flipped over and caught fire.

The driver escaped with minor injuries as did his passenger, a 20-year-old man.

Renting a Ferrari to a 22 year old is like renting a loaded AR-15 to a toddler

Doesn't say, but I would assume it's mandatory and has a big deductible.

First blood test to help diagnose Alzheimer’s goes on sale

Horrible disease, that's up there with Cancer in things that should be eliminated.  So, even without FDA approval, this is a good step forward.  This is one of those things that the feds should get involved in to lower the costs, so that anyone can get tested.

A lot of evidence that Alzheimer's is another form of diabetes and can be prevented by eating a ketogenic diet.

Dunkin’s newest drink has been in the works since 2016

Dunkin’ is bringing holiday lore to life this season with a brand-new purple drink. 

On Wednesday, the coffee chain released the “Sugarplum Macchiato,” a drink based on the historic candy made famous in the poem “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” 

According to National Geographic, a sugarplum is a comfit, or “a seed, nut, or scrap of spice coated with a layer of hard sugar,” which was popular from the 17th to the 19th century.

However, Dunkin’ decided to go a slightly fruitier direction for the Sugarplum Macchiato, with blueberry, raspberry, blackberry and plum flavors along with “notes of vanilla,” according to the announcement.

The new drink is a light purple color and comes hot or iced, the announcement said.

This year, we’ve learned a lot about ourselves. And, apparently, we’re a little boring.  

Throughout the pandemic, Americans have reportedly turned to comfort food. And nothing is more comforting than a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream, according to Häagen-Dazs Flavor of 2020 report.

The brand has shared that during the stressful pandemic year, consumers have routinely chosen one of the most basic flavors — vanilla — officially making it the most popular of its offerings for the year.

Similarly simplistic flavors like coffee and strawberry rounded out the top three on its ice cream "report."

Ford Maverick compact pickup uncovered in new photos

 

 

[Blarg]

I was actually waiting for Ford to come out with a smaller sized pickup but ended up getting the Ranger. I like it a lot but it's curb height, even with step rails, make it really difficult for my wife to get it. Maybe when the Maverick shows up I'll consider trading it in.
