Happy day after Thanksgiving!

When buying a new home ask about the neighbors.

COLFAX TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A man says he shot and killed a neighbor's cow after mistaking it for a coyote

Authorities and the cow owner are skeptical. The undersheriff in northern Michigan's Benzie County says he doesn't see how anyone could confuse a 1,400-pound, pregnant cow for a coyote, which typically weighs 20 to 45 pounds. Besides, shooting coyotes is illegal during deer-hunting season. Authorities asked the county prosecutor to bring charges. The unidentified shooter told authorities he was out to shoot coyotes Saturday when he killed the cow. Meantime, The White House in Washington has confirmed vice president Dick Cheney was not on a hunting trip in Michigan yesterday.

We hope you had a great holiday. Even over the holidays, things can go wrong at the house. My brother Bobs dishwasher stopped working yesterday. Imagine hosting a big dinner party and that happening! Things like that happen.
