Randomness

Hi there. How's your day going? Good? Good. In case no one noticed, only about 76 days left until the Super Secret Desert Baseball Fun Retreat. I'd tell you more, but its super secret.

Anyway, in case you're wondering what's happening in Crystal Lake recently, here's the latest:


Counterfeiters like Illinois doughnut shop

CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill., Dec. 12 (UPI) -- A Crystal Lake, Ill., doughnut shop and a children's charity are out $70 after bills in the cash register and collection box were found to be counterfeit.

Whoever was passing the bills in the community northwest of Chicago passed two bad $20 bills with the doughnut cashier sometime between noon and midnight Saturday, Crystal Lake Police Chief Dennis Harris said.

The shop owner found the bad bills Sunday, and the next day, a counterfeit $20 and two bad $5 bills were found in a Toys for Tots collection box near the cash register, the Chicago Tribune reported.

What a waste of 5 minutes, huh?
