The Nam on Facebook/Craigslist: Car "for sell"

Thanks to one of my cousins for finding and posting about this gem.

Sounds legit, right? I mean, zero chance that this car is stolen.

Do the cops patrol Craigslist, and if not, why?

Judge will consider settlement in lawsuit against Joe Hardy

A lawsuit against Joe Hardy regarding the death of Zack Nelson may be settled for $200,000.

The lawsuit contends Hardy is liable because he allegedly knew his daughter hosted underage drinking parties, including the one that ended in the fatal accident, but did nothing to cut off her access to alcohol.  

Paige Hardy was cleared of liability in August when a judge found that, under the state's “social host” doctrine, minors who give alcohol to other minors cannot be held liable. 

Through their attorneys, Thomas E. Crenney & Associates of Sewickley, the Nelsons on Monday filed a petition and proposed settlement agreement seeking a judge's approval to end their claims against Joseph and Paige Hardy for $200,000.

Not exactly a win--the Hardys aren't admitting to any liability or wrongdoing despite the settlement--but it is something. Maybe the Hardy family will learn something from all this.

Brownsville drive-in wins crowdfunding support

Remember the push to vote for Brownsville drive-in to win a new projector from a Honda contest, thereby allowing them to stay open? Yeah, they didn't win--at least not at first. But they just made the cut as the 10th and final winner.

So it looks like Brownsville drive-in lives to serve another summer. They still could use some help, though, so please donate here. 100 bucks gets you some nice perks, too!

Geibel class of 2007 loses one of its own

Sending prayers and condolences to the family and friends of one of my Geibel classmates, Robert Orange, who was found dead on Thursday.

I didn't know him well, but he always seemed like a cool guy, and the outpouring of sympathy and reminiscing I've seen on social media the past few days only proves that.

You never expect to lose a classmate in your 20s, before you even hit your 10th reunion.

May he rest in peace.
