WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM NOVEMBER 9- 15, 2022 UCW 25 WEEKLY HOROSCOPE NEWS OF THE WEIRD by the Editors at Andrews McMeel Syndication Everyone Needs A Hobby Remember the scene in "The Empire Strikes Back" when Han Solo gets frozen in carbonite? Catherine Pervan and her daughter, Hanalee, owners of One House Bakery in Benicia, California, have brought Solo back to life— in bread, The New York Times reported. The two worked together for more than a month to create the 6-foot- tall "Pan Solo" sculpture from bread dough; now he stands outside their store as part of downtown Benicia's scarecrow contest. "People are just super interested in it, and you see people smelling it and poking it," said Hanalee. Backtrack The state of Maine is walking back a 2015 decision to eliminate its review process for vanity license plates, the Associated Press reported on Oct. 27. Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has called the resulting vulgarities the "wild wild West," with about 400 offensive plates being subject to recall. "What I would say to those who want to engage in objectionable or questionable speech: Get a bumper sticker," she said. Because the plates are technically the property of the state, new rules to stifle the nasty messages can be enforced, she said. Recall letters began hitting mailboxes this month. It's A Mystery A Florida neighborhood is on high alert after a series of overnight visits from a well-dressed man wielding a machete, WSVN-TV reported. On Oct. 17, around 5:30 a.m., residents heard a knock at the door and saw the man on their doorbell camera, but he walked away after tapping the door with the machete. Other neighbors in Lauderhill had the same experience. "He didn't seem like someone lost or confused," one resident said. "He seemed very intentional, very businesslike, like he was dressed for business, just with a machete." Police have stepped up patrols of the area but say no crimes have been committed.
