"In 20 years of living in Holly, I would have never imagined chasing a cow down 75,"

OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. (FOX 2) - Michigan State Police released some fairly unusual dash cam video of a chase on I-75 last weekend, showing a cowboy wrangling a loose steer before it could run into oncoming traffic.

Clay Philpot is one of the wranglers who help bring the missing steer back home. Michigan State Police released a dashcam of the surreal incident.

"In 20 years of living in Holly, I would have never imagined chasing a cow down 75," Philpot said. "He started going, the cowboy lassoed him and that was it."

Just got a call from Medicare.

They asked who they were speaking to. I asked them who does Medicare have listed for this number, I don’t think Medicare calls random numbers. They hung up on me.

'White Boy Rick' arrested, accused of punching woman after saying wrong name during sex

Richard Wershe Jr., better known as "White Boy Rick," has been arrested again and is facing a felony and a misdemeanor charge in Miami.
Miami police arrested Wershe, 53, on Tuesday, after his girlfriend of four months reported that he attacked her during a fight on Saturday, according to WPLG-TV, an ABC affiliate in Miami. The woman said she waited to report the attack due to her immigration status.
The fight took place in his condo, after Wershe uttered another woman's name during sex, police said.
Officials told WPLG that when Wershe's girlfriend tried to get out of bed, "he forcefully grabbed her left arm and snatched a diamond bracelet and necklace that he had bought her. She managed to pull away, throw a shoe at him and miss."

The average price of an ounce of adult-use flower dropped from $512 in January 2020 to $80 today, according to the Michigan Cannabis Regulator Agency.

I often say "I'm the luckiest person in the world"

Half of it is good luck and half of it is bad luck.

The old Taoist story about the farmer who's horse ran away.

This may be illustrated by the Taoist story of a farmer whose horse ran away.

That evening the neighbors gathered to commiserate with him since this was such bad luck. He said, “May be.”

The next day the horse returned, but brought with it six wild horses, and the neighbors came exclaiming at his good fortune. He said, “May be.”

And then, the following day, his son tried to saddle and ride one of the wild horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. Again the neighbors came to offer their sympathy for the misfortune. He said, “May be.”

The day after that, conscription officers came to the village to seize young men for the army, but because of the broken leg the farmer’s son was rejected.

When the neighbors came in to say how fortunately everything had turned out, he said, “May be.”
