– Kansas passed a law allowing gun owners to pack heat in public buildings, including schools. Now most of the state’s school districts are having a hard time renewing their insurance. Oops.

– A 63 year-old self-described “LEGO fanatic” in Canada had his youthful dreams dashed when he was denied entry to a Legoland Discovery Center in Vaughan, Ontario. He and his daughter drove three hours to get there, but they were stopped at the door by employees who cited a policy requiring adults to have at least one child with them. The man’s daughter said that “the look on her dad’s face matched that of a disappointed kid who didn’t get what they hoped for at Christmas.”

The marketing manager of the facility later said that “she would have escorted Mr. St-Onge through the exhibit had she known his circumstances.” I had no difficulty getting into the Legoland in San Diego when I was 34 years old, along with two adult friends, one in his early 30s, one in her late 20s. As one who once lived for little else but building LEGO sets, I feel for the guy. As one who no longer feels the same sense of joy when presented with a box full of LEGO blocks, I also envy him.

– Germany is still having a problem with forest swastikas. Not sure I can add much to that.
