Sweet tooth thieves steal 18 tons of Austria chocolate

Published November 23, 2012

Associated Press

VIENNA, Austria – Thieves with a huge sweet-tooth have driven off with 18 tons of chocolate in Austria.

State broadcaster ORF says on its website that the driver of a Slovak tractor trailer loaded the 33 pallets of milk chocolate onto his vehicle from the producer in the western town of Bludenz earlier this week — supposedly to deliver an order from a company in the Czech Republic. But, police in the westernmost province of Vorarlberg say that the license plates and papers of the Slovak truck and driver were apparently counterfeit.

The trip should have taken less than a day, but as of Friday — four days after the truck was loaded — the delivery was still outstanding.

Police are investigating.

Did you hear about the new restaurant on the moon? Great food, but no atmosphere.

I found this one here(Moon Dust: Floating Particles May Offer New Explanation Of Lunar Glow).

OK...I did something Really Stupid.
I played two sets of numbers on the Kentucky Lottery...However IF I were to win (Fat Chance) I'll make a 10 Million Dollar endowment to S@H, $10 Mill to an Educational Fund for the Poor to go to College and $1 Million to Lunatics to help them out. Then I would Party My A$$ Off around the World seeing My Friends and making a few Dream Trips! ;-b....

Wish Me Luck, PLEASE.


Got the new tickets today...Got an extra one too as the Power Play kicked up my small win enough to get an extra and pocket $3.00.

I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.)

Glad Angela can and is willing to try to help her little friends out.
And I hope they respond well.

I am currently fighting a problem with my kitty Tigger II. After work last Thursday night, I got quite a fright. I noticed Tigger's right eye had turned half white. I was beside myself until the morning when I could get her to the vet. Some kind of infection. It does not seem to be causing her much discomfort, but looks very scary. And I don't know if she can see much out of that eye. She's on a half tab of Orbax once a day, and Gentak ointment gently applied to the eye 3 times a day.
It does not seem to be looking much better yet, but not really any worse though.
I just pray the meds do their work and my poor Tigger does not lose her eye.


wish your cat a speedy recovery!
also might look up boric acid as an eye wash, might help, check with vet.

She's back on the Gentak again, as the white spot in her eye, after fading for a while, seemed to be getting more opaque. If no improvement by next week, she'll probably have to go in to visit the vet again.

Thanks for the thoughts.
