🚗⚠️ Slow Down Out There — It’s Getting Wild on the Roads 

People are driving like they’re in a video game, turning everyday streets into something out of Grand Theft Auto. 

In brighter news, the Pastathon has now raised over $1 million and donations are still coming in. It’s also opening day at Big Bear Mountain. 

Travel and wildlife brought unexpected chaos: A Delta flight had to return to LAX after a bird strike, and a raccoon got drunk after breaking into gin, vodka, and whiskey before passing out in a bathroom. 

Elsewhere, a fire broke out at an apartment building in Venice, and AAA warns that with Christmas tree shopping peaking this weekend, many trees end up falling off vehicles. One father-in-law even hauled 2,000 trees to California—only for the truck to break down in 92° heat. 

And in a mix of sports and science: Someone got kicked out of Staples Center, and a marine robotics company plans to resume the deep-sea search for missing flight MH370.
