• Police say a man who left a North Dakota hobby store with about $4,000 of stock was forced to flee without the goods when his shopping cart got stuck in snow in the parking lot!
• Police allege that Dustin Johnson ran off after the failed attempt to steal goods from Hobby Lobby store in Minot.
• Thankfully, Dustin also left behind his wallet and ID, which the police used to contact him to chat, then charge him with theft of property.
• More generally, record-breaking freezing temperatures are causing major problems in the USA and Canada (some parts reaching -20F/-29C with wind chill making it feel much, much colder).
• To all my North American and Canadian friends, please stay safe and as warm as possible out there. Sending you some of Australia’s heat.
