Six Arrowheads

 

Last week a seventeen-year-old youth was arrested for vandalizing a golf course in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. He’d done “donuts” with his truck on the green near the second hole at 2:30 in the morning, while his passenger conveniently recorded the event with a cell phone. Employees at the golf course say damage to the course will come at least to $160K. Florida’s growing season is at an end, and temperatures are too low to replant right now. They won’t be able to begin repairing the course until spring. At a news conference, Sheriff Mike Chitwood said the young man had confessed to the crime, explaining they were bored and couldn’t think of anything better to do. Sheriff Chitwood repeated something his grandmother used to say, that nothing good happens after 10:00 p.m. My grandma used to say that, too. In this case, I think she would have added, “If you’re bored at two in the morning, go to bed.”
