JUNE 13-19, 2018 UCW 27 WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM WEEKLY HOROSCOPE NEWS OF THE WEIRD by the Editors at Andrews McMeel Syndication Oops! On May 1, as airmen of the 91st Missile Wing Security Forces traversed the gravel back roads of North Dakota between two of the nuclear missile launch sites they are charged with protecting, the back hatch of their truck fell open, allowing a 42-pound metal box of explosive grenade rounds to fall out. Despite deploying more than 100 airmen to walk the en- tire 6-mile route the team had driven, e Washington Post reported on May 15, the ammunition still hadn't been found. e Air Force's Office of Spe- cial Investigations has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the box and has alerted local farmers and oil field vendors in the area that the box could be danger- ous if damaged. [e Washington Post, 5/15/2018] Animal antics In Lodi, California, a small black cat took up residence on May 11 on a high ledge near the large out- door sign of a Chili's restaurant and thwarted attempts by management, who self-identified as "cat people," to be rescued. As customers took pic- tures, Restaurant Cat, as it came to be known, stared down calmly, KTXL TV reported. But when Chili's employees used a ladder to try to reach it, the cat climbed behind the neon chili pep- per and wouldn't come out, so they left food and water. Presumably it's keeping the pigeons away. [Fox40 TV, 5/13/2018] Easy way out Like any resourceful mom, Johanna Giselhall Sandstrom of Kyrkhult, Swe- den, made lemonade out of lemons after she discovered a spelling error in her newly acquired tattoo. Sandstrom had asked the tattoo artist to entwine the names of her two children, Nova and Kevin, on her arm, and it wasn't until she arrived home that she real- ized the tattoo read "Kelvin" instead of "Kevin." "My heart stopped and I thought I was going to faint," Sand- strom told local newspaper Blekinge Lans Tidning. Removing the tattoo would require multiple treatments, she learned, so Sandstrom decided instead to change her 2-year-old son's name to Kelvin, e Indepen- dent reported on May 16. "When I thought more about it, I realized that no one else has this name," she said. "It became unique. Now we think it is better than Kevin."

Question: "e Middle" delivered what was instantly one of the best series fi- nales ever. I haven't stopped crying yet, but it was all wonderful. It's going to be super weird not to have "e Middle" on the fall schedule because watching it has become such a treasured habit. e only teeny tiny nitpick that I have is we didn't see Cindy at all. In the flash- forward, Sue and Sean are married, Axl and Lexie are married, and Brick has a wedding ring on his finger at the book signing. I can't imagine who else it could possibly be, but it still feels weird not to have her included at all in the final episode, given how longstanding that relationship has been. Otherwise, what a wonderful ending to a sensa- tional series. – Jake Matt Roush: I obviously agree. And so do many others, including Carole, who wrote: "It was a perfect ending for 'e Middle.' I am still both laugh- ing/crying. Already hope that in a few years they may have a reunion. Please, Emmy committee, give Eden Sher a nomination. It would be a heck of a send off." Wouldn't it, though. Jake makes a fair point about Cindy. In the book signing, it might have been a fun sight gag just to see a future Cindy with that weird hat standing off in the background or something. But I'm sure the writers had to draw the line somewhere, as they packed so much into that wonder- ful road-trip finale.

Authentic, action-packed and now even more covertly addictive thanks to the addition of Olivia Munn's shady CIA operative as a foil for our heroes, History's SEAL team drama is on target to make the warm weather months ever hotter. Cheers to "13 Reasons Why" for add- ing insult to self-injury. Instead of exploring the mental-health issues surrounding teen suicide, Season 2 of Netflix's controversial drama headed to court for a bullying case that basically put the late Hannah Baker (a still fas- cinating Katherine Langford, ) on trial for being a secret-keeping party girl.
