Public opinion about the O.J. Simpson case is famously split. But that hasn't stopped people from buying him drinks and asking for his autograph as he travels, bon vivant-like, across the country.
A colleague of mine and her family ran into O.J. in Breckenridge, CO recently. Here's an 11-second video of O.J. with jugglers from the family:

Desoto, KS - Three guys were hot-rodding around on a golf cart here Saturday and practically had the bumper falling off, Johnson County sheriff's deputies said.
A resident of a subdivision on the golf course and the golf course owner separately encountered the men and asked them to cut it out, deputies said. Instead, the men just drove off.
Late that night, pretty big fires started on the porches of the homes of both the resident and the golf course owner.
Deputies would like to talk with the golf-cart trio.

Pair planned to marry in two years
The victims of a fatal wreck Friday night in Independence were a young Independence couple who had recently become engaged.
On Saturday, police identified Crystal A. Blessing, 18, and Brandon C. Hankins, 20, as the victims of a crash at U.S. 24 and Noland Road.
The crash happened about 7:50 p.m. Friday as Hankins and Blessing were southbound on Noland Road and turning east onto U.S. 24. A westbound car ran a red light and broadsided them, police said.
Hankins had proposed to Blessing on the night of her senior prom, her family said. She graduated this spring with honors from William Chrisman High School. The couple had planned to marry in two years.
The two had known each other for 13 years and were classmates at Chrisman.
