I swear, I end up in the news more than any normal person should. I'm also one of those people who always seems to be in the 'right place' at the 'wrong time' and end up seeing something bizarre or unusual.
First, there was the article on CNN. Nick was contacted by a reporter via ImSaturn (a social networking site for Saturn owners, created by GM), and we did a phone interview last weekend with him. The article appeared online the next day.

Then, last week, while I was working at a Salvation Army kettle (which is an annual gig I do - they pay me to play the flute at the kettles and I enjoy it), I was approached by a woman who was writing an article on the Salvation Army for the Dayton Daily News. She interviewed me along with two other people in the store that day, but I was the one that ended up in the article!

And today, while I was working at the Kroger on Smithville, I got to witness a pipe bursting above the pharmacy counter, and the ensuing chaos and flooding of the store that led to them closing the whole store down 30 minutes before the scheduled end of my shift. That was highly entertaining and deserves it's own post if I feel up to it later.
