Penguin parents
Published 11:00 pm Friday, June 5, 2009
A pair of gay male penguins at a zoo in Germany are raising a chick from an egg abandoned by its parents.
In a related development, cartoonist Berkeley Breathed is working on a new children’s book called “Opus Has Two Daddies.”
Meet Neal Wanless: He’s a 23-year-old South Dakota man who recently lost a mobile home through foreclosure. That was before he won a $232 million Powerball jackpot.
Now, Wanless can not only buy back his mobile home, but also buy the mortgage company that repossessed it. Then he can order the repo man to muck out the barn.
From Darrington to D.C.: Darrington native John Broten may be a corporate big shot on the East Coast these days, but he hasn’t forgotten his roots.
Broten’s wife, Kim, also a Darrington native, says their neighbors in Virginia all employ gardeners, but the Brotens mow their lawn themselves.
Being from Darrington, they also can split their own cedar shakes, field-dress a deer and overhaul the carb on a ‘73 Ford F-150 pickup.
