THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
My family is going on two separate vacations this summer and my extended family seems to think that's a bad idea. My husband and I each have vacation time to use. We also have a new puppy and four kids who want to get out and have some fun! We decided to take two different vacations. I'm staying home for the first one to a theme park and my husband is staying home for the second one while we go camping. It's always difficult to try to coordinate with our two different companies. In addition, we have a new puppy from last year, and this allows us to each stay home to watch her too. This plan works for us. We love the idea. I've already had calls from my mom and several of my siblings. They're worried that we're going to be breaking up. That's not what's happening at all. We just think this will allow the kids to have more fun and it allows us to each spend more one-on-one time with the kids doing something we each love to do! What do we say to our family to get the off our backs about this?
Signed – Super Happy Camper

As Americans looked for a way to boost their mood, reduce boredom, and relieve stress during the 2020 quarantine, a new study finds some older adults turned more and more to alcohol as a remedy. Researchers from the University of Michigan say even “social drinkers” are showing signs of risky behavior during the coronavirus pandemic. (https://bit.ly/3pGzuNq)

According
to a news release from Vermont State Police, a 23-year-old Canaan man
is facing drunken driving charges after he allegedly crashed his car
while trying to give the finger to an Upper Valley police chief on
Interstate 91 last week. Jordan Deford was charged with driving under
the influence following the June 2nd crash. The crash occurred just
before 4:00 p.m. when Deford passed Windsor Police Chief Jennifer
Frank, who also was driving southbound on the interstate, and lifted
a hand to make a “gesture with his middle finger,” at her, the
release said. As he did, Deford lost control of the 2014 Chrysler
sedan he was driving and went off the road into the grassy median,
hitting the curbing on the Bugbee Street overpass. The front end of
Deford’s car was damaged, and it had to be towed from the median.
Hartford police who arrived at the scene and, during a discussion
with Deford and Frank, reportedly saw signs that Deford was impaired.
A Hartford officer conducted a breath test, which showed that
Deford’s blood alcohol content was more than twice the legal limit.
Deford, who was released following the crash, is due in Windsor
Superior Court on June 22nd on the driving under the influence
charge. (https://bit.ly/2U51RcD)

Many
languages have the same roots. English, Portuguese, Latvian, Pashto,
and Greek all sound very different today, but these languages all
have a common ancestor called Proto-Indo-European. Though we don't
have any written examples of it, linguists have worked backwards from
a variety of modern languages to try to reconstruct it. Using their
reconstruction, the sentence "The king wanted a son" would
be written as "H3rḗḱs súhxnum u̯l̥nh1to."

The kidnapping of a cafe’s beloved garden gnome in the Portobello area of Edinburgh, Scotland, has locals mesmerized. The gnome went missing in early June from the Butternut Squash Café, which was soon sent a bizarre ransom note demanding no money, but cheesecake. The cafe posted a pic of the note on its Facebook page which read: “We have your gnome. If you want to see him again leave 2 cheesecakes when you shut the cafe, We will be watching.” The cafe refused to bow to the specific demands and instead left two pieces of shortbread outside the eatery with a note on social media that read: “Kidnappers your treasure awaits…” The thieves were not impressed and sent another ransom note threatening: “Shortbread!!!!! We asked for cheesecake!!!!! You have 24 hours or your gnome gets dusty binned.” The cafe held firm and refused to deliver cheesecake. The cafe shared a picture of the note, which also included a picture of a broken gnome, on Facebook noting: “We will not negotiate with gnomenappers.” In the meantime, there is a new gnome in the cafe gardens. The cafe noted: “Even our customers think we shouldn’t be held to ransom… We have a new butternut friend!! Ps cheesecake is sold out for now. #bringbacktheoriginal.” (https://bit.ly/35uxWx7)

Nothing makes a Happy Meal less happy like getting arrested. A man in Virginia allegedly threatened to execute everyone in a McDonald’s because he was unable to get a Happy Meal. The suspect is also believed to have threatened several other people in the area before authorities could detain him. The incident occurred at a McDonald’s in Stafford County last week, according to a post on Facebook by the Stafford County Sheriff. According to the police’s statement, the suspect has been identified as James Springer, a 36-year-old from Stafford. Apparently, Springer was working as a DoorDash driver at the time and had arrived at the McDonald’s just before 10:00 in the morning. According to reports, he became agitated when he was told it was too early to get a Happy Meal. Witnesses reportedly stated that Springer before leaving the restaurant, Springer said that he would come back and execute everyone. The McDonald’s workers contacted the police at this point. Springer was charged with disorderly conduct, abusive language and four counts of brandishing. (https://fxn.ws/3ghFHuY)
