OT/Here's a strange....

I'll be amazed if Paul Harvey doesn't pick up on this one. I live 50 miles out of Grand Rapids. We get our local TV stations from there. Tonight I was watching the 6 o'clock news,they were coming up on a commercial and teasing the stories coming up,and there was the hospital a mile from my house! Well,I wait and the story comes on. It's so bazaar,even the reporter doesn't know how to take it. Seems a bunch of people showed up there for work this morning who don't work there??? So many in fact,the the administration called the sheriffs department. These folks claim they were told that the hospital was sold to a large Grand Rapids hospital and they were supposedly hired by them. The local hospital administrator and the Grand Rapids hospital both denied that there was a sale,or that they had hired anybody. The sheriff wouldn't comment on an ongoing investigation. The undersheriff didn't say much. The only explaination was that maybe somebody was trying to get peoples personal information from the applications. Ever hear of anything so odd?

There are employment scams around here all the time. There have been ads in local papers touting jobs in auto plants or government jobs, just send in you 39.95 or whatever. I bet that is what happened there. BTW, 50 miles west of GR pretty near places you in Lake Michigan doesn't it?

Only if out means west. Out could be any radial location including about a 40% chance of clear lake water JimN
