And now for your morning news!A man was arrested in Oconee County, Georgia, USA, Wednesday after he claimed his dog drove him to the store.
Oconee County Sheriff Sgt. Partain says he responded to a call about a dog locked in a car at a Bell's Food Store near Butler's Crossing. The outside temperature registered at 99 degrees and the internal temperature of the car, which was measured with a handheld thermometer, was 123 degrees.

I hope you are having a wonderful day also!
I really expected to hear that the dog actually drove the car. During the late 70s a farmer near Ogies in the then Eastern Transvaal taught his tame baboon to drive a tractor. The farmer said he did a better job than some of his farmhands.
The baboon became quite a celebrity and people stopped to watch the baboon. When he was not driving the tractor, he used to sit on the fender with the farmer while working. Apparently he loved driving the tractor.
But then when we were kids, we cousins fought about who can drive the tractors. We all loved it. Baboons we all are.
