In Florida, a commercial fisherman unveiled a curious catch when he returned from an expedition through the Gulf of Mexico this week. It was a corroded missile fired from an F-15 fighter jet. Now wouldn't that be something to pull in?
He hooked the missile about 50 miles off the Panhandle town of Panama City and kept it on his boat for 10 days. He had hoped to keep it as a souvenir, but took precautions because he didn't know if it was live. He kept it cool, he said by packing it in ice.
Later he found out it was a telemetry missile that carried no explosives which was a good thing. However, the MacDill Air Force Base Bomb Squad inspected and dismantled the missile after the fisherman returned to port on Monday.

Islamabad, Pakistan
About 400 Pakistani tribal residents who were furious over a deadly suicide bombing at a mosque, laid siege to several Taliban strongholds in their troubled northwestern region. They killed 11 militants according to officials. The Taliban attack on the mosque left 33 worshippers dead and wounded dozens during Friday prayers. This angered residents of the Haya Gai area of Upper Dir district who have had tensions with local militants for months.

Air France Crash - 15 more Bodies Found
This was a terrible crash in which 228 people lost their lives in the Atlantic ocean. I am sure many were trapped in the plane and probably more bodies will come floating to the top. I heard today that a French submarine is going to go down and see if they can find the black boxes. It is very deep.
Search boats recovered 15 more bodies on Sunday from the plane that crashed May 31. Four of the bodies were men and four were women. They didn't have the information on the other bodies recovered as yet by French authorities. There are a lot of heartbroken families due to this huge loss of life in the ocean near Brazil. Two Americans were on board, the last I heard.

Conservatives are Ahead in EU Races
Conservatives raced toward victory in some of Europe's largest economies on Sunday. The initial results and exit polls showed voters were punishing left-leaning parties in European parliament elections in Germany, Italy, Belgium, France, Britain, Spain, and the Netherlands and elsewhere. However, Greece was a notable exception. The governing conservatives there were headed for defeat in the wake of corruption scandals and economic woes. This was the latest news to be reported out of Belgium.

Laser Surgery for Men
Men, especially as they age, often have problems urinating. Sometimes it is very hard to get started or the stream is so slow, they seem to be in the bathroom for hours. It is as bad as having to go too often, perhaps worse.
My husband had this laser surgery Thursday and they found a birth defect in his bladder. I wonder how many men are having the same problems he was having and have this defect also? The doctor said he sees a great many of them. It is too bad my husband couldn't have had it fixed 20 years ago. Just in our little town of about 3000, our doctor says she sees about 100 men a year who have this surgery. It is called TURP for short. What a blessing.
