A Charles City police officer has filed a lawsuit against the world's largest fast food company McDonald's for the "Super-Troopers" chicken sandwich he was served at one of its affiliates two years ago. According to Josh Douglas, the incident happened two years back when he and another fellow officer went to an area McDonald's to grab a quick dinner and instead he was served a chicken sandwich with phlegm used as sauce. "It was a loogie. Runny, stringy, slimy snotty loogie and it was stuck between the lettuce and tomato and you pick it up and it all kind of stays together," Douglas described the filling of the sandwich to KIMT News 3. com.

The Sedona Kitty Express, a cab that traveled a 2,500-mile ride from New York to northern Arizona, reached its destination on Monday. The couple, Bob and Betty Matas, who wanted to make the long journey comfortable for their two cats Pretty Face and Cleopatra, decided to hire cab driver Douglas Guldeniz's Ford SUV for a $3,000 per day flat rate plus gas, meals and lodging. The couple, who rode nearly 10 hours a day, said they were "flabbergasted" by the kind of attention they received in every state they crossed. Everyone recognized the couple and in Sedona, Arizona the Mayor himself welcomed the couple at a noontime ceremony Monday, presenting them with a bag of Sedona souvenirs.

A couple seeking a comfortable ride for their cats and cabbie in the pursuit of good memories have come along for a 2,400 mile ride across several states to reach Arizona. After their retirement Betty and Bob Matas had decided to move to Arizona, but like many New Yorkers the couple do not drive causing them to worry about the comfortable transportation of their beloved cats. The couple, however, found the solution to their problem several weeks ago during a round of shopping trip when they jokingly asked the cabbie they hailed whether he will be interested in making the long trip.
