RAZR FOUND!

12 days after her brand new RAZR MOTOROLA cellphone had gone missing, Christine received a call that someone had found it, wedged in between the seats of a cab! How’s that for luck!
She was wondering if she should give something as a reward.
What would you have given to someone for returning a shiny (3 day old) cellphone?

Personally, if I found a RAZR I’d probably keep it. So I think a reward should be something significant for this honest New Yorker. Let me here your thoughts and I’ll let her know what you guys think!

OUCH!!

Boy, 11, OK After Truck Runs Over His Head

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. - An 11-year-old boy had a lingering headache two days after a pickup truck ran over his head. “All I remember about it was that when the truck ran over my head, I could hear my bones crack,” Cameron Schuette said Tuesday.

Cameron, a 5th-grader and his 13-year-old brother Tyler were helping their grandfather chop and load wood on Sunday. The boys were sitting on the tailgate of their grandfather’s truck when he began backing down his gravel driveway and Cameron either fell or jumped off.

Ron Shurley said he at first thought he ran over a piece of wood until he got out of the truck and saw Cameron lying face down in the gravel. Then he stood up and ran into the house, Shurley said.

“He didn’t look too worse for wear,” Shurley said. “He was just saying he had a headache.”

After spotting blood running out of the boy’s ear, Shurley drove him to the hospital. Cameron was then transferred to another hospital, where tests revealed he had a slight hairline skull fracture. He also had roadrash on his neck and face, a black eye and a laceration on his ear canal.

He was released from the hospital Tuesday, suffering a stiff neck and a headache.

His mother, Shannon England, said the accident showed the dangers of letting children ride on tailgates. She said it was a “miracle” that Cameron had not been injured worse.

“Maybe he has an exceptionally hard head,” Shurley said.
