The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Joe Hardy, the multimillionaire founder of 84 Lumber and a Fayette County commissioner, has taken his third wife.

Hardy and Kristin Georgi were wed in Vegas last weekend.

Hardy is 84. His bride is 22.

Haven't we seen this movie before?

I can't see this ending well. Soon, but not well.

Life, death and 400 gator heads.

Read about it here.

Long story short, Chris Brooks, son of the late York City Councilwoman Elizabeth Brooks, died in Austin, Texas, recently and left behind 400 gator heads. Brooks' friend, Randy Schiller, has custody of the gator heads in the basement of his York home.

Randy is selling the gator heads to pay to have Chris cremated and perhaps have his ashes returned to Pennsylvania where they can be interred with his mother.

If you want to help, you can buy one of the gator heads -- yes, they are real gator heads -- at the York Emporium at 343 W. Market St., in York. They cost $15. All proceeds go to helping Chris and his family and friends with the funeral costs.

Jim Lewin, owner of the eclectic used book/antique/weird stuff shop, said he sold two of them on Sunday and has about a couple dozen in stock.

I guess he is kind of scary.

The New York Post reported, "Kindergarten kids in ritzy L.A. suburb Calabasas have been coming home to their parents and talking about the 'weird man' who keeps coming to their class to sing 'scary' songs on his guitar.

"The 'weird' one turns out to be Bob Dylan, whose grandson (Jakob Dylan's son) attends the school. He's been singing to the kindergarten class just for fun, but the kiddies have no idea they're being serenaded by a musical legend - to them, he's just Weird Guitar Guy."

"Weird Guitar Guy'? Sounds about right, I guess.
