While is CA there was a shooting between to rival groups in a Toys "R" us store, I'll assume fans of Guitar Hero vs Call of Duty fans?

And a 34 year old Walmart employee was trampled to death after he turned his back on a crowd of nearly 2000.

Y'all shop I'm going to watch from the sidelines.

Charleston is pushing a new city ordinance regarding doing No. 1 or heaven forbid No. 2 in public, and you folks in Beaufort thought you had troubles.

I guess since you now have strictly enforced drinking in public rules it's only a matter of time before you get potty rules too.

Now before you click on the above link I'm warning you, I think it's a funny photo.... but you may be offened.

So what do you think?

The Fishing Vessel Nanami continues as a tourist attraction on Kiawah Island this weekend, and may remain there until at least Tuesday according the USCG Sector Charleston.

Meanwhile more facts about the Nanami's long strange trip have emerged.

Before running aground on Kiawah Island the Nanami was rescued by no less than four USCG cutters off the North Carolina Coast. Days prior to that, she was ordered to dock at Lewes, Delaware by the US Coast Guard.

November 17, 2008 Charleston, SC - Today is the first fly-able weather day for the Wildlife Trust aerial survey team as they begin searching for the North Atlantic Right Whale off the South Carolina Coast.

The team took off at 0800 Monday November 17, 2008 from John's Island Airport and is flying north to south from 32.20N to 30.01N, and from shore eastward to 79 06W, or generally speaking Cape Romain to Fripp Island about 25 miles out.

File this one under "whatever" but it's a slow news day so just for fun here are the details and link to the photos which are kind of surprising:

The National UFO Reporting Center has posted the following story:

NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 04, 2008, 21:20 HRS. (LOCAL)

KIAWAH ISLAND — United States Coast Guard Sector Charleston has reported the 78-foot scallop boat Nanami, homeported in Pennsauken, N.J., aground on Friday November 14, 2008. The vessel washed up near the east beach on Kiawah Island. S.C., after its anchor chain broke Thursday evening.

The two person crew, on their way to Cherry Point, remained aboard through a stormy Friday night.

I’ve watched him from a distance, in passing and close up. I’ve stood behind him at the post office, sat across the aisle from him at church and our paths have crossed at the gas station and the grocery store as well.

Yet I don’t know him...

Over many years I’ve noticed the two flags that fly from the large flag pole in his back yard. And because of those flags and the regularity they fly, I know a little something about him just the same, for he flies our country’s flag daily and below it the Marine Corps Standard.
