 Bear strolls through Alaska liquor store's open door ... An unexpected customer paid a visit to an Alaska liquor store when a bear came walking through the front door. Surveillance footage shows the bear walking through the open door of the Liquor Barrel in Juneau on Friday before standing up on its hind legs to peruse the candy shelf. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Roger Thibodeau, the clerk of the family-owned store, told KTUU he initially thought it was a dog but became "kinda freaked out" after seeing the snout and realizing it was actually a bear. "I think that was the closest I've ever been to a bear," he told KTOO. "I was basically kind of stunned when I saw it." [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Before the bear was able to make its choice from the selection of candy bars, a customer began clapping his hands and shooed the bear away to the Harri Plumbing and Heating next door. Bob Dilley of the Juneau Police Department said the bear likely just followed its nose into the store. "That place probably had some food in there that smelled so it wanted to check it out," he said. |

 Attempted thieves repeatedly fail to drag gas station ATM ... Surveillance footage from a Maryland gas station showed a trio of hapless thieves repeatedly fail to drag an ATM away in their van. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Prince George's County Police Department police shared video of the would-be thieves as they wrapped a chain, attached to the back of their van, around the ATM and attempted to drag it out of place. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] "The trio of suspects tried three times to pull out the ATM but came up empty," police said. The suspects severely damaged the ATM on their first two attempts to pull it free, as the force of the vehicle pulling the chain tore through a large portion of the machine. Still determined to pluck the machine from the ground, one of the suspects attempted to fasten the chain to a damaged portion of the ATM. The van driver then quickly backed the vehicle up before speeding forward and ripping off a portion of the ATM, sending debris scattered all along the ground. Upon realizing the fruitless nature of their efforts, the two suspects entered the van and drove away. Prince George's Police encouraged anyone with information about the trio of suspects to contact their tips line. [Versteckter Link - Registrierung notwendig] |

Deer visits New Jersey home for daily swim in pool ... A fawn has made itself at home in a New Jersey family's backyard pool to escape the summer heat. Resident Brittney Benincasa first spotted the deer climbing out of the pool outside her Freehold Township home on June 14. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] "I went to the sink to wash my hands, and through the window, I saw it climbing out of pool and on to the pavement," she said. "She shook off and laid in my landscaping for like 45 minutes, then she got up again and walked back towards the pool, leaning over the edge. I had no idea that she could even swim." [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Benincasa said she feared the deer had escaped drowning when she first saw the wet deer near her pool and observed that she "didn't look happy." She hesitated to call animal services, instead opening up the surrounding gates to give it the opportunity to walk out on its own. The deer continued to return to the pool every day to enjoy the cool water and the massaging jets. She said the deer's daily visits aren't necessarily welcome, but make for an interesting story. |

Every day this dog rides the bus all by herself to go to the Park ... Meet Seattle’s celebrity dog, Eclipse, who takes a bus to a nearby park all by herself. “All the bus drivers know her. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] She sits here just like a person does,” fellow rider Tiona Rainwater told KOMO. “She makes everybody happy. How could you not love this face?” [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] It all started when the black Labrador and Mastiff mix was at a bus stop with her owner Jeff Young. Her human was taking too long to finish his cigarette. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] So, when the bus arrived, the pooch just got on it by herself and got off at the park. Since that day, the owner knows he can always catch up with her later in the park. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] The guy realized this smart girl can ride those 3-4 stops on the D line on her own and always knows where to get off. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Although some officers say that Eclipse should ideally be on a leash, King County allows dogs on public transport at the discretion of a driver. So, as this pooch causes no harm but only makes passengers smile, the drivers are always more than happy to give this four-legged miss a lift. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] What about the doggie herself? Well, she seems to be proud of herself. Besides, her Facebook profile says : “I love my big city life and enjoy taking the D line daily to the Belltown dog park.” What a smart doggie! |

Man sent home from work for wearing shorts in 30C heat goes back to office in his mum's dress ... Joey Barge, 20, from Buckinghamshire, turned up in a pair of smart blue shorts on but bosses deemed them inappropriate despite the sweltering heat. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] A defiant call centre worker who was sent home for wearing shorts to the office in this week's heatwave came back wearing a bright pink dress as a 'protest' against the dress code. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] They sent him home just minutes after he posted on Twitter asking his followers: 'If women can wear skirts/dresses at work can I wear smart shorts like so?' But rather than changing into a stuffy suit, the call centre worker decided to don a bright pink dress as a 'protest' against the rules. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Predicting that he'd be sent home again, Joey posted a chic selfie to Twitter, racking up dozens of likes and retweets. Instead his act of defiance sparked a change in the rules - with bosses sending out an email allowing 'gentlemen in the office' to wear three-quarter length shorts in 'black, navy or beige only'. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Despite the u-turn - which Joey branded a 'partial win' - he opted to wear the colourful dress for the whole day in an act of defiance against the policy. |

‘The Restaurant Of Order Mistakes’ -You never know what you’re getting ... One of the most frustrating things that can happen when eating out is ordering one dish but receiving another. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Surprisingly, one restaurant is offering just that – The Restaurant of Order Mistakes (a clever spin on a book called The Restaurant of Many Orders) popped up in Tokyo’s Toyosu district, and its mission was to hire waiters with dementia. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] The premise of the pop-up restaurant, which was in a trial period from June 2 – June 4, 2017, was that the staff who have dementia may get your order wrong. But if you go in knowing this upfront, it changes your perception about those who suffer from brain disease. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] The experience makes you realize that with a little bit of understanding on our part dementia patients can be functioning members of society. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Food blogger Mizuho Kudo visited The Restaurant of Order Mistakes and had a blast. She originally ordered a hamburger but ended up having gyoza dumplings instead, but everything turned out to be unexpectedly delicious. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] Kudo also claimed that the waiters were full of smiles and seemed to be having tons of fun. |
