(CBS DETROIT) - An F-16 fighter jet from the Ohio Air National Guard landed safely in Ohio after having an emergency while flying over Michigan. The jet needed to drop two fuel tanks, one of which exploded in a lake. At about 1:15 p.m. on Wednesday, the Iosco County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of an explosion in the area of Baldwin Resort Road near Lake Huron, according to a release.Law enforcement authorities discovered two F-16s from the 180th Fighter Squadron in Toledo were operating in the area. One had declared an emergency and dumped two full external fuel tanks. One of the tanks landed in Lake Huron and exploded, while the other landed in the Baldwin Plaza parking lot, which includes a Tractor Supply, Sav-a-lot, and a Michigan Secretary of State location. There was minor damage to a few vehicles, but no one was injured, according to the sheriff's office. The sheriff's office initially called water rescue teams after receiving the call about the emergency because they didn't know if there was a plane or pilot ejection in the water. No plane or pilots were actually in the water, but the U.S. Coast Guard recovered part of the suspected fuel tank from the lake.

History Facts lists eight names US parents no longer give their newborns, which you may no longer hear in Virginia. The girls' names are Doris, Gertrude, Mildred, and Judith. I know or have known women with all four names, but they are either baby boomers or boomer parents' ages and someone's grandma or great aunt. Consider the ages of females in Virginia you know with these names.

There’s been an update in the Hunter Biden saga: The 54-year-old son of the president withdrew his request for a new trial Tuesday after prosecutors said Biden had a “misunderstanding of appellate practice” and a “failure to read” previous court orders. Last month, Biden was found guilty of lying about his drug addiction when applying for a gun in 2019. Following his conviction, he told NBC News he was “grateful” for the “love and support” he received. His reasoning for wanting a new trial stemmed from the judge, who Biden thought “didn’t have jurisdiction over the trial because of pending rulings in his appeals case,” according to the New York Post. This claim was shot down by prosecutors who, in their Monday response to his withdrawal, said the judge was within her rights to charge Biden. In a filing Monday, prosecutor Derek Hines wrote, “[W]hen trial began on June 3, the Third Circuit had already dismissed both of the defendant’s appeals with orders stamped ‘in Lieu of Mandate’ and denied his petition for rehearing.”Read it at New York PostRead more at The Daily Beast.

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food. However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.

This Popular Italian Restaurant in Addison has lost my business for good—no more Chances.
