MARY ESTHER A 28-year-old woman was taken to the hospital for evaluation after driving into a Mary Esther house Thursday morning.
The woman told Okaloosa County Sheriffs Office deputies she was praying at the time and had her eyes closed, according to the OCSO. The Fort Walton Beach woman was traveling eastbound on Marcia Drive when she failed to stop at a stop sign, went through an intersection and into the yard of a home on Miramar Drive.
She tried to back out but got stuck in the sand, the OCSO said. She was cited for reckless driving with property damage.
No one in the house was injured.

(53 posts)I don't care if it rains or freezes
Long as I got my plastic Jesus
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car
Comes in colors, pink and pleasant
Glows in the dark, it's iridescent
Take it with you when you travel far
Get yourself a sweet madonna
Dressed in rhinestone, settin' on a
Pedestal of Abalone Shells
Goin' 90, I ain't scared
Cause I got the Virgin Mary
Assuring me that I won't go to hell

(118,379 posts)My best friend had a war surplus radio setup with a big antenna and on summer nights (TV had not yet arrived in Fresno, California) we spent a lot of time trying to bring in radio stations from as far away as possible. Thats how we discovered XERB (I think those were the call letters) broadcasting from a very powerful transmitter across the border in Mexico. The station belonged to a Del Rio dentist and religious fanatic and they sold the most outrageous stuff imaginable, all with magical healing properties. One particularly egregious divine exhorted listeners to "LAY YORE HAND ON THE RAAD-EE-o IF YOU FEEL THE HEAT YOU'LL BE HEEEAALED!" This was followed by an appeal for contributions and a list of crypto-religious items for sale, including a glow-in-the-dark Jesus with a suction cup base to attach to your dashboard. This item was guaranteed to protect the buyer from death on the highway. Another show included a hillbilly backup group that sang, among other ditties I've now mercifully forgotten, a song that included, "....something..something..something..leaning on the arms of Jesus, wrapped in the bosom of the Lord..." At the time it seemed so funny that we started changing it a bit and (with lots of gigglig) making up other words to the song, working in the suction-cup Jesus statue..and eventually ended up with a whole routine. So that's the true story of Plastic Jesus. Irreverent teenagers with no respect laughing themselves silly in a dusty California town on hot summer nights in the middle 1950's ...'

(50,604 posts)If I weave around at night
And the police think I'm tight
They'll never find my bottle, though they ask
Plastic Jesus shelters me
For His head comes off, you see
He's hollow, and I use Him for a flask
There's a reason you don't see plastic Jesuses anymore, and it's not because they're hollow. When the automakers started raking the windshields back to improve aerodynamics, it made the sun's rays focus on Plastic Jesus and turn Him into Plastic Buddha.

Good grief. Scary.
