Kroger is buying Giant Eagle

I saw something saying Kroger may be buying Giant Eagle, and if that turns out to be true, that would be a pretty big grocery shake-up around here.

The part that caught my attention is the idea that some stores might have to be sold off before regulators approve anything, especially in areas where Kroger already has a strong presence.

The Giant Eagle name may stay, at least for now, but you still have to wonder what this would mean for shoppers.

More choices? Fewer choices? Or just a new way to spend $87 on two bags of groceries?

A Roller Coaster Washer Missing Someone by Inches Is Not a Small Thing

A metal washer fell from the Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point and missed a guest’s head by inches.

Nobody was hurt, thank God, but that is not exactly what you want to hear before getting in line for a coaster.

Cedar Point inspected it and reopened the ride, but still… when something falls from that high, even a small part becomes a big deal.
