This evening, I went over and turned over my neighbor's picnic table. He will know that it was me who did that. He is a very mean man. Last morning, he snapped at me and my dog for walking across the alley from him while he was sitting at that table. We normally try to stay well away from him.

DURHAM -- If people could be charged with walking while impaired by alcohol, Johnnie Patt Ndogo would have been a prime candidate Friday morning, court officials said. They said Ndogo smelled of alcohol and stumbled when he appeared in traffic court to answer allegations that he failed to comply with penalties arising from an earlier drunken driving case. So Ndogo, 55, was given a breath test. He registered a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.23, nearly three times the state's impairment standard of 0.08 and more than double the 0.10 he blew at the time of his DWI arrest.
