On the road again

I'm in Albuquerque for a couple of days getting my turqoise fix. Lots of
history, lots of native american pottery, lots of homeless people hanging
out. Its an odd sort of place.

I haven't heard of any really weird news from east tenn lately which means
you ae due. Expect a strange story in the next 3 days. It will involve
either:

1. A trailer park
2. A stepdad
3. A meth lab
4. Pigs
5. Magnolia avenue
6. Chattanooga police

Any combination of three of the above qualifies.

Do any of these qualify?

SEVIERVILLE - A former high school teacher accused of having sex with a 16-year-old boy had her request for judicial diversion turned down Monday in Sevier County Circuit Court.

CLEVELAND, Tenn. - A methamphetamine lab explosion burned a Bradley County man in his bedroom less than three weeks after narcotics agents caught him making the illegal drug in the same place.

SEVIERVILLE - Barring a last-minute plea, the manager of a roadside amusement park in the Smoky Mountain tourist town of Pigeon Forge will stand trial for murder this week in the death of a woman who plunged 60 feet from a spinning carnival ride at Rockin' Raceway.

You missed Sunday's two (2!) front page stories from East KnoxVegas.

1. AE Magnet School Dance as an interperative art form and method of expression changing the lives of impressionable young scholars.
2. AE Magnet School students assault police officers after drugs discovered in car.

I've notice that the word Magnet in the school name now causes alarm bells to go off in my head. Funny how some words go from innocent to alarming.

Clear Springs is not a magnet school is it?
