Crack That Safe

Published 8:32 pm Saturday, December 4, 2010

A safe belonging to Marysville’s first mayor more than a century ago has been donated to the city’s historical society.

Historical society officials haven’t yet opened the vault, as they’re waiting for a callback from Geraldo Rivera.

They did, however, knock down rumors that Colton Harris-Moore is hiding inside the safe.

And don’t puke over the transom: If you’re younger than 30, you need a boater education card in order to skipper your own vessel. A class first thing this morning at West Marine in Everett will get you qualified.

The class teaches valuable skills, but The Buzz has always maintained the No. 1 way to boat safely is to leave the beer and booze on the dock.

No bad ideas, almost: Seeking to overhaul the company’s hidebound bureaucracy, the new CEO of General Motors told workers they can feel free to take risks on new ideas without fear of being fired.

However, he did say that the guy who came up with Pontiac Aztek has 30 minutes to clean out his desk.
