A 37-year-old guy named Jason Mackenrodt robbed a bank at gunpoint in Waterville, Maine on Tuesday morning.\u00a0 And then he ran away.<\/p>\n
But as he ran through the parking lot of a Chinese restaurant across the street, he slipped on some ice.\u00a0 Which made his gun fall out of his pocket . . . and a bunch of the cash he stole flew into the air.<\/p>\n
And . . . it turned out he’d fallen and slid right in front of a police officer who randomly happened to be parked there at the time.<\/p>\n
So Jason was arrested for robbery.<\/p>\n
Here’s a police spokesman and an eyewitness talking about it.<\/p>\n
______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A new study has found that insect populations are declining in big numbers around the world and it could potentially have a “catastrophic” effect on the planet’s ecosystems.<\/p>\n Scientists found that the number of insects is falling at 2.5 percent a year, and more than 40 percent of insect species could become extinct in the next few decades.<\/p>\n Causes of the insect decline include pesticides, habitat loss, pathogens, and climate change. Species that rely on insects for their food, like birds, and animals higher up the food chain that eat those species, would be hurt by the insect decline, as would the pollination of crops and wild plants.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Your kids have waited long enough:\u00a0 The first trailer\u00a0for\u00a0“Frozen 2” <\/strong><\/em>is out and we\u2019ve got it posted at Country929.com<\/em><\/p>\n Unfortunately, they have to wait until November for the actual movie.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY IS\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2013 About 1 billion Valentine cards are exchanged, making it the 2nd largest card-sending occasion after Christmas. <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 2005\u00a0 YouTube is launched by a group of college students. $66 million from YouTube’s sale to Google.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n COUNTRY MUSIC NOTE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n FEBRUARY 14TH<\/sup>,\u00a0 1987\u00a0 <\/strong>George Strait’s “Ocean Front Property” is the first title to debut at #1<\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n Wedding Turns to Chaos When the Groom Hits on and Gropes an Underage Waitress<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n There’s a 31-year-old guy named Matthew Aimers, and he got married in Northampton Township, Pennsylvania back in late November.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And it’s safe to say the reception didn’t go as planned.\u00a0 Apparently, Matthew got super drunk and did the following things . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n He was hit with a ton of charges on Wednesday, including indecent assault, indecent exposure, imprisonment of a minor, harassment, simple assault, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There’s no word on how his new wife feels about all of this.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S GOOD NEWS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Back in mid-December, a 24-year-old guy in San Diego named\u00a0Ryan Caine\u00a0went to the E.R. with pneumonia, which turned septic.\u00a0 And he almost died.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He had to be in a medically-induced coma for six-and-a-half weeks, and doctors weren’t sure\u00a0if\u00a0he’d ever wake up.\u00a0 But he did, and finally got to go home last Wednesday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the first things he said when he woke up was, “Did I miss CHRISTMAS,” because it’s his favorite holiday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n His parents live on a street in San Diego where everyone goes all-out with their decorations.\u00a0 People come from all over to see them, and locals call it “Christmas Card Lane.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anyway, Ryan was excited to be heading home.\u00a0 But he was also bummed he missed the holidays.\u00a0 So his mom told him\u00a0not to worry.\u00a0 And when he showed up on Wednesday, their Christmas decorations were still up, including their tree.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But the best part is a bunch of their neighbors put their decorations back up too.\u00a0 They even did some caroling out on the street.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [71] (Raymond) Teller<\/strong>, Las Vegas magician<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (41) Danai Gurira.<\/strong> She’s\u00a0in\u00a0“Black Panther”<\/em>,\u00a0Michonne\u00a0on\u00a0“The Walking Dead<\/em>“<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n (47) Drew Bledsoe.<\/strong> Former New England Patriots quarterback who was injured and replaced by a young backup named Tom Brady.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (59) Jim Kelly<\/strong>.\u00a0 Former quarterback for the Buffalo Bills.\u00a0 He led his team to four consecutive Super Bowls . . . but lost every one of them.\u00a0 Jim recently battled both cancer AND MRSA . . . but beat them both.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0_________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n THINGS THAT MAKE YA GO HMMMM\u2026\u2026<\/u><\/strong> \u00a0________________________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n DOCTOR ONLY RECOMMENDS ONE FOOD TO PREVENT COLDS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n We’re well into winter, and if you’ve managed to avoid getting sick– good for you.

A study from 2017 found people who ate probiotic-rich yogurt were found to have beefed up immune systems compared to those who only took a sugar pill. Probiotics seem to interact with microbes in our intestines, doing a variety of things, including helping keep viruses and bacteria from taking hold.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you’re buying yogurt you should look for one that has to be refrigerated, says it contains “live and active cultures,” and contains at least six grams of protein, but no more than 200 calories, 4 grams of fat, or 30 grams of sugar.<\/p>\n HOW MANY COLDS HAVE YOU HAD SO FAR THIS WINTER?<\/u><\/strong> 36% none, zero<\/p>\n 31% one<\/p>\n 17% two<\/p>\n 9% three<\/p>\n 5% four or more<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Getting Some Sleep\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Can you remember the last time you woke up without an alarm clock, feeling refreshed, not needing caffeine?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If not, you aren\u2019t alone.\u00a0 But despite the fact that many people report not getting sufficient sleep, a professor of neuroscience and psychology and author of a book about sleep says that getting a consistent seven- to nine-hours of sleep is the single most effective thing we can do for our brain and body health.\u00a0 Among the negative effects of skimping on sleep that you may not be aware of:<\/p>\n \u2713 Increased desire to eat (usually high-calorie snacks). <\/strong><\/p>\n Scientists have even started lobbying doctors to start \u201cprescribing\u201d a good night\u2019s sleep (but not sleeping pills).

What do men get for Valentine’s Day?’ I feel like if it’s supposed to be about the person you love both people should be doing something to make the other person . . . but also, there’s 365 days in the year.
