Here's a tip: If you fall in love with a stranger online and they say the best way to prove your love is with six figures worth of Xbox gift cards, they're probably not that into you. Or even into video games.
There's a 63-year-old guy named Kenneth Werkau who worked at a Walmart in Moundsville, West Virginia. And during the last four months of 2019, he stole $123,775 worth of gift cards.
He would activate prepaid Mastercards and Xbox gift cards and say they were paid for in cash, but he wouldn't actually put cash in the register.

There are proper terms for the dung of every kind of game animal. This is not something I knew when Steve showed me what he called an otter “toilet” for the first time. It took some convincing to make me believe that such a thing existed, followed by research to confirm the otter deposits its excrements or “spraints” in one place.
There are also terms for where an animal retires to rest. A hare may go to “vault.” A fox kennels, a marten trees, and an otter watches, perhaps after using the restroom.

It was a rainy March day and it was time for a driveabout, so I threw a heavy jacket into the car and headed northwest.
Up N.C. 67 through East Bend, I took the turn that leads across the mighty, muddy Yadkin River and stopped at the Rockford General Store to fuel up on candy. The lady behind the counter and I greeted each other through our masks.
“How’s business?” I asked.
“Slower than usual, but not bad,” she said.
I wound up with two bags drawn from the store’s big glass jars: one for chocolates, the other for Cherry Sours and Red Hots — which, I learned, don’t actually go together as well as one might think. But they kept me alert.

COLUMBIA, Miss. (WDAM) - Mississippi Public Service Commission Chairman Dane Maxwell issued final documents to PearlComm LLC Monday.
Maxwell’s signature marks the allocation of $25.7 million from the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund.
The fund brings access to high-speed internet service to over 51,000 Pearl River Valley Electric Power Association members across 12 counties.
“It’s as big of a deal as providing power to them in 1938 when we were founded,” said Matthew Ware, Chief Executive Officer & General Manager of PRVEPA. “Now we’re giving them a new technology that I think will have the same implications to our membership as it did back then.”

In a surprise move Wednesday, former Town Councilor Jim Stanford announced he has accepted the newly created position as Snow King Mountain Resort’s amusement park director.
