Another Runaway Kangaroo and a Speeding Ticket Dispute

0:03 Callaroga Shark media. Now, this is extra funny to me, being transparent, I recorded a bunch of these back to back. When I last left you, which in my world was thirty seconds ago, I was telling you about a runaway kangaroo. Well, another runaway kangaroo. What is going on America with your kangaroos? Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. This runaway kangaroo was in Florida. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said multiple calls came in reporting the kangaroo on the loose. Video captured the kangaroo hopping down the middle of Hickory Tree Road before going under a fence into some nearby farmland. The FWC conducted a search and found the kangaroo hiding in a thicket in the area. The FWC said it was safely chemically immobilized. Mmm, that sounds a little suss. Kangaroo is examined by a vet and found to be healthy and uninjured. It was taken to a licensed facility with experience caring for kangaroos. Now, at the time of this recording, we don't know whose kangaroo it is, but I could tell you. Kangaroos didn't make their way to Florida on their own. You know, they're not like rats who can sneak on a ship and get places. Somebody brought the kangaroo to Florida. I hope the kangaroo and its owner get reunited. A Michigan woman whose cat disappeared in twenty twenty two was reunited with her beloved pet. He turned up three years later outside of McDonald's, ten miles from the house. Ella said, Buddy

1:33 failed to come home one day in twenty twenty two. We hoped he'd come back, but then it was a couple of days too long. Then we started to get worried. Three years later, she's on Facebook and came across a post from the local Humane Society. The post included photos of a cat at the shelter had named snack Wrap. After being founded outside of McDonald's, ten miles from Elli's home. Ellis said, I sent his grandma and said, this looks like Buddy, and I posted a picture of on there and I was like, do you they get him? The shelter was able to confirm snack Wrap is Buddy using vet records, old photos, and the cat's reaction to being reunited with its owner. So I'm not in favor of speeding. I'm not gonna act like I've never done it, but this story is about speeding near a school. I'm against that for sure. But a Decatur resident got out of a bunch of speeding tickets after noticing a typo in the sign. So I kind of like the story here, but don't speed near schools anyway. Brian received a one hundred dollars ticket. He was accused of going thirty seven miles per hour and it's twenty five, he told the News the post. A timeframe on the science says twenty five miles an hour ends at four to thirty five.

2:46 Our alleged violation was at four forty one. The speed camera company said the speed zone ends it for forty five, but again the sign says for thirty five. The company refused to wave the ticket and told Brian to file a formal appeal. He did. He said the police kind of blew me off when he contacted the police about it, but it appears there's misinformation about enforcement times in this school speed zone camera system. I'm not opposed to cameras and speed limits, only two inaccurate tickets being issued and the appeals hassle that goes with it. The police chief went to look. He says, the violation occurred at four to forty one PM. Knowing that afternoon school zone times with three forty five to four forty five. I went to look at the signage. The signage shows four to thirty five. Looks like Brian's going to get out of those tickets.

Two newspapers, the Chicago Sun Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer, put out lists of best summer reading. However, it turns out more than half the books listed were fake. The guy that put together used AI and didn't check his work. Among the fake summer books you won't be able to read is The Last Algorithm by Andy Weir that is a science driven thriller following a programmer discovers an aisystem has developed consciousness. That's doubly hilarious given the story. However, the book doesn't exist, nor does Night Shade Market by Minshi Lee, which was said to be a riveting tale set in souls underground economy. Lee, who is real, posted on Twitter, I have not written and will not be writing a novel called Night's Shade Market and good news.

4:50 If you're the guy that tried to sell the six million dollar gold toilet that had been stolen from an English country house, if you've been listening to this program for years, you may recall the story a judge such that the guy selling the toilet had been taken advantage of by the thieves. The judge explained to the defendant those responsible for this audacious heist, five individuals could be seen on CCTV. They were clearly intent of disposing of their ill gotten games quickly. You foolishly agreed to assist of the group who had smashed a window to steal the toilet. Of the five, only two have been charged and convicted. The defendant punched his fist up in the air as emerged from court, saying he was a good person who got caught up in something I should not have.

5:33 And those are your five good news stories for today. You have an awesome day.
