You Can Get a DUI
ON A LAWN MOWER?
When it comes to DUIs, most people think of being caught driving a car while intoxicated. But contrary to popular belief, cars and trucks are far from the only vehicles you can be cited for operating under the influence. Under Florida Statute 316.003, a vehicle is defined as “every device in, upon, or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway, except personal delivery devices and devices used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks.” This means virtually anything you can drive or ride on can be considered a vehicle, as the following hapless individuals found out to their chagrin. DUI ON A LAWN MOWER. Last November, a 56-year-old man was arrested in Port Se. Lucie while swerving around on his lawn mower down a small access road with a case of beer in hand. Turns
out he was over three times the legal limit, resulting in a night in jail and a misdemeanor on his record. DUI ON A HORSE. One woman in Polk City had a few too many drinks on her birthday and decided to take a ride into town on her horse in Lakeland. Cops pulled her and the horse over on the way and charged her with DUI, forcing her to spend her birthday behind bars. DUI ON A BICYCLE. One man was wobbling through a checkpoint in Largo when a police officer stopped him for a little chat. Though he wasn’t actually cited, she informed him that yes, you can get a DUI on a bicycle — after all, you can easily swerve into traffic and cause bodily harm to others. Soon after, the guy dismounted from the bicycle and walked it home, glancing back, bewildered, at the officers.
MEME CORNER
Instructions 1. Cook macaroni al dente, drain, and set aside. 2. Bring several cups of water to boil in a small pot. Place chopped potatoes, carrots, and onion in the boiling water, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and soft enough to blend. Cooking time will vary slightly, based on how small you have chopped your veggies. 3. When veggies are soft enough to blend, use a slotted spoon to remove them from cooking water, and place them in your blender. Add 3/4 cup of that cooking water to your blender, along with your remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth. 4. Pour sauce over your cooked macaroni noodles in a dish of your choice, taste for salt, and serve immediately. NOTES: If you are not using a high-speed blender (like Vitamix of Blendtec) for this recipe, I recommend soaking your cashews for at least 30 minutes before attempting this recipe.
