Both from local radio station KGMI. A pot bust:

Two Marijuana Busts in as Many Days
A Whatcom County Sheriff's Deputy responding to an alarm at a home south of Lynden, reported smelling marijuana upon arrival.

After further investigation, 50 plants and 25 pounds of pot were confiscated.

Thirty-two year old Carlton Carr, 26 year old Jory Mullen, and 29 year old Thomas Palcios were arrested.

In another case just the day before, the Northwest Regional Drug Task Force responded to the 4200 block of Jimi Hendrix Way, near Toad Lake and found more than 200 plants.

A pair of twenty-two year olds, Joey Sousa and Taylor Johnson were taken into custody.

Emphasis mine -- memo to self; when setting up a grow-op, maybe choose a less conspicuous street name. Second: Hold my beer and watch this:

Attempt at 'Barrel Ride' with Methanol Fuel Lands Pair in Hospital
Two men were seriously injured in an explosion at a shop that builds and services race cars in Sedro-Woolley.

Fire Chief Dean Klinger says the men put about four gallons of methanol in a 55 gallon barrel in the parking lot Sunday night, sat on top and lit it on fire for a "barrel ride."

Klinger says, "apparently it was supposed to slide across the parking lot like a rocket. Instead it blew up."

One end of the barrel flew 120 feet. The men were responsive when paramedics arrived at Funk Racing.

They were taken to United General Hospital then flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with severe burns.
