thought the felony charge was kinda harsh for stealing soda, here the rest of the story. Have you ever stolen soda from a restaurant? Maybe the cashier forgot to charge you for a fountain drink but still gave you a cup, or you ordered water but upon filling your cup, realized it had a terrible funky taste and switched to Diet Coke instead. Point being: As far as crimes go, it's a pretty easy and seemingly innocuous one to commit.
So it's not hard to feel at least a tiny bit of empathy for an 18-year-old dude in Springdale, Arkansas who was arrested earlier this week after his little water-for-soda switcheroo went terribly awry. According to ABC 7, Cody Morris and two friends ordered three large waters at a McDonald's drive-thru; they then poured out the contents and went inside the restaurant to fill their cups with soda. The manager had apparently seen this abuse of the free-refill system one too many times, and decided to call the police to report the incident as a robbery.
Morris's two friends returned their drinks, but he wasn't going down without a fight: He fled with his beverage and, according to police, "hit the manager twice with his car when the man tried to block his escape." His vehicle was later found parked outside a nearby bowling alley, where he was apprehended and charged with felony robbery; he was soon released on $2,500 bond, which is coincidentally the cost of about 1,700 large sodas at McDonald's.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
