IT RAINING WEED

     If $10,000 worth of marijuana fell on your front lawn, what would you do? I know what I would do and it would have nothing to do with calling the police. That's what Maya Donnelly from Arizona did, though. 

     Donnelly was awoken by a sound that she thought was thunder in the early morning hours, but dismissed it as a typical monsoon storm and went back to bed. Later that morning, she looked in the carport at her house in Nogales, near the U.S.-Mexico border, and saw pieces of wood on the ground. She found a bulky bundle wrapped in black plastic. Inside the plastic, it was revealed, was roughly 26 pounds of marijuana, a package authorities say was worth $10,000 and likely was dropped on her house accidentally by a drug smuggling aircraft. Oh, gee! These guys should be detectives! No kidding! 

     Donnelly said of the September 8 incident, "It's all right on top of our dog's house. It just made a perfectly round hole through our carport." Living near the border, Donnelly assumed the object was drugs. She immediately called her husband, Bill, who told her to call 911. Dummies! The couple said officers who responded told them an ultralight aircraft smuggling marijuana from Mexico probably let part of its load go early by accident before dropping the rest farther north. Nogales Police Chief Derek Arnson said it was the first time in his three-year tenure that he's ever seen a load of drugs hit a building.

     Police are trying to determine whether the bundle was transported by an aircraft or a pilotless drone. Such runs usually happen at night....Or so I hear. Donnelly said she thinks it's unlikely someone will come looking for the drugs, which are now in police custody. Arnson agreed but said police have boosted patrols in the Donnelly's neighborhood for now. The family will have to pay an estimated $500 in repairs of the damages on their home, which includes a new home for their German Shepherd, Hulk. But the scenario, could have been way worse for the couple and their three daughter. The package could have landed in one of their bedrooms. 

     Friends and family also have gotten a good laugh at the situation. Several joked that the couple could have profited from the surprise package. That's a joke? I totally would have tried to profit or at least share my new fortune. Ok, who am I kidding? I wouldn't have told a soul! I would have pretended that I had a guy and whenever someone wanted some, I would break some off and sell it to them. Calling 911 would be the furthest thing from my mind. Donnelly said, "How can you have a clear conscience, right? We could have made lots of home repairs with that money." Um, yeah! Once again....Dummies! Or shall I say, "Goodie Two Shoes!"
