I think I have bought my last pumpkin. Sorry farmers.

A 50-year-old Pinckney man is in a Ypsilanti hospital today after a pumpkin thrown from an overpass crashed through his windshield and hit him in the head.

The man was driving a red 2007 Ford Ranger west on M-14 in Plymouth Township at 3:35 a.m. today when the pumpkin came flying off the Ridge Road overpass, just west of Beck, according to the South Post of the Michigan State Police. He's in stable condition at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ypsilanti.<BR itxtvisited="1">

It's an ongoing problem that's been happening for months throughout Metro Detroit, say investigators.

"Tires, cement, now pumpkins," MSP South Post Sgt. Michael Shaw said this morning, adding he knows of at least 10 similar incidents in the past few months. "It's been a concern for us, but this is the first time an item large enough actually went through a windshield.

What's concerning to investigators is that about ten minutes after officers left the M-14 scene this morning, drivers reported more pumpkins being thrown from the bridge, Shaw said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Michigan State Police South Post at 734-287-5000. Motorists are also encouraged to call 911 if they see something suspicious besides someone walking on an overpass, Shaw said.

if it's not pumpkins, it'll be something else - no reason to change the tradition, imo...

it drives me nuts that people can be that stupid though...

Exactly, sorry HH, I have no clue how ending the pumpkin carving tradition and not buying pumpkins anymore would have anything to do with this. If they didn't have a pumpkin to throw, they would have thrown something else.

Yet another stupid thing that people do. Do they have any leads as to who may have done it...any lead on an age range or anything? Wouldn't suprise me though if they were about my age. XD God, yet another reason why I wish natural selection was more aplicable to humans. (not for physcial or mental problems just to get rid of stupid people with no common sense.)

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
