Two people were hiking an 8.2 mile hike along the Northern California coast of San
Francisco one hiker died at the scene and the other was injured. The cause of the death
and injury was a rockslide occurred. The Bear Valley Trail collapsed and both fell from
the trail down 70 feet. Bones had to be broken in the hiker that was only injured. Heavy,
sharp rocks pilled on top of both the hikers. These hikers wanted to overlook the beautiful
scene but didnt pay any mind to the warning saying do not cross dangerous beyond this
point. The names and information on hikers is not known yet. Therefore, the Bear Valley
Trail is now closed for good.

Early Monday morning ONE male passenger went overboard into the ocean when
traveling on an Royal Caribbean Cruise. The cruises destination was to go to Port
Everglades, Florida. The cameras on the ship have PROOF that this one individual was
NOT pushed overboard, BUT crossed the railing himself. Having that said, the cruise
ship had to turn 20 miles around to help find this one individual. On the bright side, not
only did two coast guard ships help with the search but also a helicopter. We will have to
have a follow up with this story on: what time did this happen around? Was this
individual intoxicated? What made him jump? and Is he reduced and back on the cruise?

Today, we are legally allowed to buy bombs online and in stores in America. Are you
kidding me? What happened to having a safe country where we feel protected to live in?
Having these EXPLOSIVE (Say ANGRY) products are on the shelf to buy in big brand
sporting goods stores! They decided to sell these bombs in sporting good stores because
of target practice. When trying to aim and shoot their is an explosion. You can buy as
much as you want. One customer bought 40 pounds in stores which can blow up your
house! You can even purchase the same amount online. Unbelievable. In 1995 this bomb
killed 168 individuals, and hurt more than 680 people in Oklahoma City.
These bombs are one type of bombs that the U.S. troops use in Afghanistan. Not
everyone should be allowed to buy this dangerous explosion.

Another current conference was held with the New York Giants in Phoenix. The Giants
are okay with the extension having Eli Manning, the quarterback finish up the year. Ben
Roethlisberger, quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers had a contract for five years and
received $99 million dollars! Eli Manning is making close to $19.75 million a year and is
still not satisfied. He feels he should get more money than Ben since hes going really
good this year. But his interception was dropped in 2014 to 27 and 2015 to 14. Eli has
also won TWO MVP Super Bowls. Having all that said about Eli, their will be no doubt
that the Giants will give Eli more money as a quarterback.

The College football team, Florida State wants to play a game with Alabama and Auburn.
Whats it to Florida who they play? Why is Florida trying to make more games without

meetings? Florida State is also demanding who they want to play in 2017 which might be
in the new Atlanta Falcons stadium. Their can never be enough college football games
played. Having all that said, all games are certain that they will ALL be played.

Candice Bergen, 68 years old is showing off nothing but pure smiles. She is happy the
way her body is. She is currently living in Beverly Hills, California. Any day, her
biography will be called A Fine Romance. This will be talking about how she loves to eat
(not healthy LAUGH) and does not care what others think of her appearance. Today
she gained 30 pounds from 15 years ago and couldnt be anymore proud of herself. I
never heard of a 68 year old getting happier about aging! But Candice will sure be the
first! Make sure to see her on Broadway in: The Best Man (2012) and Love Letters

(2014). Everyone remember, Its truly a blessing to get older and to enjoy each and every
day!
