Florida – Forget the FastPasses. Apparently the secret to skipping the long lines at Disney World is to hire a disabled person.
The New York Post is reporting that some deep-pocketed New York City moms are hiring a motorized scooter-bound guide to pose as a family member so they and their kids can jump to the front of the lines.
According to the report, families book tours through an outfit called Dream Tours in Florida, which on its website claims to provide “quality based, memorable, and affordable vacations, to people with special needs.”
The Disney guide charges $130 an hour, or $1,040 for an eight-hour day, citing a Manhattan mom who claims she hired a tour guide using a motorized scooter.
Disney allows each guest who needs a wheelchair or motorized scooter to bring up to six guests to a more convenient entrance. Full Article

Washington – A Seattle man ascended to a new level of creepiness recently when he flew a drone just a few feet away from a family’s home and defended his right to do so because he was flying it in the air, and thus not trespassing.
He also claimed it was for research. The camera-equipped device emitted a loud noise, similar to that of a weed-whacker, which caught the attention of a woman inside.
She told Capitol Hill Seattle Blog that she saw the man on the sidewalk controlling the device near a third-story window in the eastern neighborhood.
Her husband approached the man, who was standing on the sidewalk, and told him to desist from being creepy.
The man told him that he was doing research and the camera was transmitting the images to his glasses. Full Article

USA – I just paid $1,810 in student loans this month. I make on average around $1,500. That’s not counting another $500 monthly payment my parents make.
So, really, my student loans in total each month are $2,310 and rising.
The only reasons I’m not broke is thanks to my tax return, that not all loans came out of deferral at the same time and that payment my parents make.
Thankfully my parents allow me to live in their basement in Rochester, Minn., rent-free.
I work full-time at a job that I wouldn’t have required my college degree in sociology from Arizona State.
This job pays above minimum wage; however, it is unlikely I’ll be able to advance further in this job.
This job is mentally exhaustive to the point I couldn’t handle working another job, whether part- or full-time. It’s hard to go to work realizing that, in a sense, I’m working without pay — because all my income pays my loans. Full Article

LAKEPORT, California – Scott and Robin Spivey had a sinking feeling that something was wrong with their home when cracks began snaking across their walls in March.
The cracks soon turned into gaping fractures, and within two weeks their 600-square-foot garage broke from the house and the entire property — manicured lawn and all — dropped 10 feet below the street.
It wasn’t long before the houses on both sides collapsed as the ground gave way in the Spivey’s neighborhood in Lake County, about 100 miles north of San Francisco.
Eight homes are now abandoned and 10 more are under notice of imminent evacuation as a hilltop with sweeping vistas of Clear Lake and the Mount Konocti volcano swallows the subdivision built 30 years ago. Full Article
