IT DOESN’T HURT TO BE LUCKY

There is a very lucky man who lives in Timberlake, N.C. The unnamed homeowner was awakened at about 0500 Sunday when he became aware of a masked man in his bedroom. The man pointed a shotgun and demanded money.

The homeowner pulled his own gat and fired one shot at the masked man, identified by the cops as Jonathan Ellias Ziminack, 25. The bullet hit the shotgun, and went on to hit Ziminiack in the gut.

Ziminiack is now in the hospital. His girlfriend, Cody Alicia Bowling, 20, was driving the getaway car. She was arrested by the local cops and is facing charges and is being held pending a $75,000 bond.

This shooting reminds me that the Vikings often chose leaders of their expeditions by drawing lots, on the belief that luck was more reliable than skill.
