Is a Taco a Sandwich?

0:03 Kalaroka Shark Media. Is a taco a sandwich. I want you to ponder that I will come back to it. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. All right, it is a taco sandwich. You think about that, well, I'll tell you about how I've had it with these snakes on this train. The Eastapan Railroad Company set about twenty seven hundred passengers experience delays when a snake was spotted on a commuter train. That's right. Officials were told there's a snake in car number eight here on this eleven car train. The train was stopped at Kamagome station. Passengers were evacuated so staff could search for the snake. The snake wasn't located, though, and the train was returned to service after about fifteen minutes. But they kept the passengers out of car number eight because there might be a snake in it. I guess they weren't too worried if they put the train back in the service.

0:57 Anyway, it made its way to the maintenance center Shinagawa. Ward they searched, an employee found the eight inch snake hiding under a seat in the car. The snake was turned over to police. Police, who were apparently snake experts in Japan, identified it as a young, non venomous Japanese rat snake. The snake was released in the wild, where presumably it will make its way back to a train station and interrupt your commute yet again. Firefighters in Minnesota had to use a supersized ladder truck. That truck known as the Tower. Why a cockatil had escaped from her owner and became stranded. Nope, you're thinking tree. I was thinking tree. Nope, on a hospital window ledge. The Dulu Fire Department set on social media that Nina the cockatiel had escaped and was on a six story window ledge at Saint Luke's Hospital. The firefighters arrived with Tower one, a truck which has a one hundred foot ladder in bucket. They went up to rescue Nina the cockatiel. The firefighters also said thank you to Saint Luke's security for the assist. The cockatiel was brought down safely and reunited with her owner. Shocking news, Messi has retired.

2:04 No, not Lionel Messi, the soccer guy. By the way, we have a whole podcast about Lionel Messi called the Messi effect. It's not that guy. This Messi is an eight year old Labrador retriever who was working for the TSA. When he was working for the TSA, Messi would sniff for traces of explosives. In his free time, he enjoyed watching planes and playing on the grass and maybe doing a little fetch action with a tennis ball. They threw him a surprise party, and I guess they did some sort of explosives thing. I'll read verbade him. The event took place in a large room where a training aid was concealed. Messi and Peter searched the room. When Messi successfully hit on the device, Messi was shared with tennis balls tossed by the other canine handlers. Messi thought that was a lot of fun.

2:46 The official end of his duties was marked by the removal of a patch from his harness. That patch said do not pet. Now you can pet him, and by golly everyone did. Messi now in retirement, will lived with his handler Peter nice Hey. Good news. Remember like forty years ago some jerk had stolen the weather vane from the railway station here in Vermont. Yeah, I remember when that happened. Well, that was annoying. While the Vermont Agency of Transportation is announced it's back. Judith, a spokesperson, said, we're delighted to see this valuable historic artifact and beautiful piece of art returned to its home here in Vermont. It's a nineteen ten weather vane made by Wa Snow Iron Works, Inc. It sat on top of White River Junction Station in Hartford before it was stolen in nineteen eighty three. The weather vein is of a steam locomotive and coal tender. Forty years later, it showed up at an auction at Southeby's. But the Southeby's folks, they've got a database of stuff that's been stolen, and they confirmed the piece was the stolen weather veane, so the auction house pulled it from sale. Southeby's even paid the twenty three hundred dollars to ship the weather vane back to Vermont. They're trying to figure out right now a good location to put the weather veine so that it might be enjoyed once more and presumably not stolen. Do you remember my question is a taco a sandwich? Well, an Indiana judge has resolved this. The judge has ruled the tacos and burritos are indeed Mexican style sandwiches.

4:16 That's right. You see, there was this strip mall and there was one of those deals where, like, you know, you can't have like nine sandwich shops in a row. The agreement allowed for the opening of made to order sandwich restaurants like Subway and Jimmy John's. Those were as specific examples of made to order sandwich shops, but barred traditional fast food places like McDonald's, Arby's, and Wendy's. Martin had struck a deal in twenty twenty two to open a location of a place called The Famous Taco. But they were like, hey, hey, that sounds kind of fast food, and the argument is, no, it's not fast food, it's a sandwich, the judge wrote. The proposed Famous Taco restaurant would serve made to order tacos, burritos, and other Mexican style food, and would not have outdoor seating, drive through service, or serve alcohol. The Core agrees that tacos and burritos are Mexican style sandwiches, and the commitment here does not restrict potential restaurants to only American cuisine style sandwiches if you want to open your own place. The judge points out this also applies to Greek Gyros, Indian non rops, or Vietnamese buying me. And those are your five good news stories for today.
