Hump Day News Round-Up

• Gerald Ford is still alive.
  
• Some movie about a monkey that goes apeshit opens today. Yeah, I'd never heard of it, either.
  
• Former Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti has become the first lawyer to charge $1,000 per hour. Maybe I should give the bar exam another go.
  
• Whoever loses, I win: It's the greenies vs. animal rights nuts regarding the construction of a wind farm in the UK.
  
• An anonymous person put four gold coins worth $4,000 in a Salvation Army collection kettle in Denver, CO. Also, a woman donated a diamond ring. That just warms the cockles, doesn't it?
