Does anyone realize how BIG $500 worth of aluminum would have to be?? The blotter should have read like this: 8:57 a.m.: Someone reported someone stole the right rear, custom aluminum, wheel of his SUV, valued at $500, from a driveway on the 200 block of Mt Hamilton Drive. The caller said it was shaped like an ashtray. written by bla , August 14, 2008
Next time I can save you some money...
How to make an aluminum ashtray: Drink the can of beer first Find a pair of strong scissors and cut off the top of the can (start from the drinking hole and then follow the bottom edge of the can's lip). Cut the sides of the can into 1/2" wide vertical strips, leaving them attached at the can's base. Push all the strips down and out, so that the interior of the can's base becomes the center of many horizontal spokes. Fold any strip back onto itself in such a way that the unfinished aluminum side peeks out only slightly from the diagonal line of the colored side. The edge of the colored strip's free end should touch, but not intrude into, the can's base. The strip will look like a lopsided triangle. Fold the rest of the strips the same way, tucking the end of each under the short side of the triangle formed by the strip before. Ashtray in the strip stageFinish the ashtray by pushing the free end of the last strip under the short side of whatever strip it will fit into (usually a strip one or two places ahead). The ashtray should now be a 1/2" deep circle surrounded by peaky, uniformly sized "petals." Wow thats a mouthful! written by amy , August 14, 2008
1:12 p.m.: A man reported that his daughter had spit in his face. The two were in a fight concerning her drug abuse and friends that she hangs out with.
Gee, she is only two years old, they do spit up sometimes, eat crayons and elmer's paste and toddlers at day care center are not a dangerous, just the terrible two's... be patient, she is not finished agrowin'.... -amy written by fortheunderdog , August 14, 2008 bla, Sounds like you've got experience in making this ashtray. written by amy , August 14, 2008
Good tip!!! Will do it with soda can. Good for measuring my snacks, too!
Love Goobers too much! If I could find them! -amy written by fortheunderdog , August 14, 2008 amy, I like Goober's too and if you have a Target store up your way look for them in the candy grocery section. They are only $1.50 and the box is more than 1/2 larger than what you get in movie theaters that charge you $2.50 written by amy , August 14, 2008
Darn!!! Now, my constitution has weakened! Gonna look in the yellow page and see if there is one nearby! Thanks for the tip, fortheunderdog!!! Great!

About 50 USA dollars, 500 pesos sounds better??? Liking your cute idea!! Great candle holders, too? -amy written by amy , August 14, 2008
No joke about this, but this lady did the right thing.
8:27 p.m.: A woman on MacArthur Drive and Schulte Road reported being run off the road by a man in an older green Buick. The man then pulled up alongside her and told her to get out of the car. The woman sped off, and the man followed her to the police station and then sped off toward 11th Street. Drive to public places, too, and sound the horn. It often deters the offender. -amy This content has been locked. You can no longer post any comment.
