Police Expect House Cat, Get Mountain Lion

POSTED: 2:03 pm MDT September 30, 2008

CASPER, Wyo. — A police officer didn’t think much of a call to shoo off a bothersome “kitty cat” at a home in Casper on Monday.

Then the officer arrived at the home of Beverly Hood. It was no ordinary “big kitty,” but a male mountain lion weighing 80 to 90 pounds.

Officer Mike Ableman said he ran for cover inside Hood’s home when he saw the cougar.

She called this a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

No source. Just tidbit from me!

I had a fire in my dryer this weekend. 3 different repair people, including PS&G (public service elect & gas) said they have been seening high levels of fires in my brand, Kenmore, all models.

Something is not working right with the Kenmore lint collector. High amounts of lint/dust/dirt is getting into the motor and catching fire. I have a gas model and am lucky it burnt out without igniting the gas.

Repairman said to never leave the dryer running when not home (Kenmore, anyway).
