An Italian bus driver, who was sacked for performing in a wine bar while he was on sick leave for anxiety, has won his job back after judges ruled his musical activities helped his recovery. The driver was fired in 2019 by the bus company after being discovered singing and playing piano during time off work for panic attacks. The driver subsequently challenged his dismissal through the courts, beginning a legal battle that would eventually reach Italy's highest court. The judges said that while you're on sick leave you can't do anything that would hinder your recovery...like skiing with a broken leg. But performing in a wine bar to reduce stress
is different. So this guy is back to driving again. Gee...I don't know if I'd want a bus driver to have a panic attack if I'm one of his passengers. Why can't he have a wine bar on the bus? He sings and drives. Everyone else drinks and parties. And...A 72 year old retiree named Dennis, who was arrested for using his 9mm handgun to shoot a Walmart delivery drone hovering near his Florida home, has struck a plea deal to keep him out of jail. Last June, a two man team was in Dennis's neighborhood conducting mock deliveries to attract business and interest in the new Walmart program. The drone had been flying at a height of 230 feet before it dropped to 75 feet to demonstrate the deployment of a cable to which a Walmart package would be attached. Dennis was working on his pool equipment when he heard and saw the drone. After trying to shoo it away, he got his gun and fired...hitting it with one shot. Hey, some drones just need killing. Dennis said he had past experiences with drones flying over his house and he believed he was under surveillance for some reason. Dennis said he had no idea the drones were from Walmart. Sounds reasonable to me. Hey, lately there have been these mysterious drones flying over New Jersey that nobody can explain. Also, if you own a home don't you also own what's under your house and a certain part of the sky above your house? If Dennis stays out of trouble and pays restitution, the reckless discharge of a weapon charge will be dropped. You know, It's becoming the world of the drones...we're just living in it. Drones are as small as insects now. If I swat one, will the cops be beating down my door?
