    A Florida homeless man found luxury. He moved into a stadium luxury suite, police say

    A homeless man somehow got into Al Lang Stadium and lived in a luxury suite for nearly two weeks, police said.
    Daniel Albert Neja, 39, was arrested Sunday after a cleaning crew entered the room where he was staying and found razors, opened shaving cream containers and blankets, St. Petersburg police spokeswoman Yolanda Fernandez said.
    Fernandez said the cleaning crew had not been in the room for some time because the space was supposed to be empty and cleaning activity was limited due to COVID-19.
    Surveillance footage showed that he had been in the facility since July 26.

    The Tampa Bay Rowdies soccer team plays in the stadium and the Rays play spring training games there.
    Neja was arrested on charges of burglary and resisting an officer without violence. He was being held in the Pinellas County jail Thursday in lieu of $5,150 bail, records show.
    Officers do not know how Neja entered the stadium, but suspect that he was able to blend in with the cleaning crew, Fernandez said.
    The value of the clothing he took was $1,043 and he also consumed $250 in drinks, arrest reports state.
    Mayor’s Office spokesman Ben Kirby declined to comment, citing that the case is an ongoing investigation. The stadium is owned by the city of St. Petersburg.

    Stadium security reviewed surveillance video and found that Neja had been entering the merchandise store and food area. He was wearing Rowdies clothing and eating the food that he had found, Fernandez said.

    Bravo Mr. Eagle!

    Bald eagle takes down government drone

    [​IMG]

    A bald eagle took down a government drone in Michigan, state officials said Thursday.

    The bird of prey attacked the Phantom 4 Pro Advanced quodcopter drone about 162 feet in the sky on July 21, "tearing off a propeller and sending the aircraft to the bottom of Lake Michigan," according to the state Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.

    "The attack could have been a territorial squabble with the electronic foe, or just a hungry eagle," the department said.

    An environmental quality analyst and drone pilot, Hunter King, was mapping shoreline erosion on Lake Michigan with the device, which was flying at 22 mph, when it began twirling out of control and he spotted an eagle flying away, it said.

    A bird-watching couple that was nearby said it saw the eagle strike something and appear to fly away uninjured, department officials said.

    A search for the drone days later was unsuccessful. The device was 150 feet offshore, in about 4 feet of Lake Michigan water, the department said.

    A state drone coordinator, Authur Ostaszewski, used a kayak and snorkeling gear in his unfruitful search, state officials said.

    The $950 drone is obsolete and will be replaced with a newer model, the department said.

    Bird strikes aren't unusual for drones. The Federal Aviation Administration has studied the issue in depth, including analyzing impacts using simulated birds.

    Technology publication 3D Insider last year published a guild for amateur drone operators about how to avoid bird strikes.

    The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy said one idea it's exploring is using coverings for the devices that would make them look less like seagulls.

    When I worked in and around Yellowstone we called them tourons. (tourist+moron) Most people live big bubble wrapped lives and haven't a clue about wild animals. Touron "OH! look at the cute bison calf, lets pet it." Momma bison "Oh! look at that predator going to hurt my baby, lets kill it." Yeah that's never going to end well for the touron.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    We don't use them. Seems the only ones that do are the IT guys and gals.

    We were issued thise as well. They even came with the company logo printed in them. They kept the lid from closing though.

    Now we use Teams and have docking stations so the computers arent even open.
