A man was shot and killed after he set off a booby trap in his own home on Thanksgiving night.

Ronald Cyr, 65, of Van Buren, Maine, died of injuries sustained at his home on Nov. 28 after a handgun that was designed to fire upon anybody entering the front door of his residence went off.

Officer Chandler Madore and the Van Buren Police Department, assisted by the U.S. Border Patrol, responded to a call indicating that Cyr had been shot. But when officers arrived on scene they discovered that he had been injured by a booby trap that he had allegedly set up himself, according to a statement released by the Van Buren Police Department.

Ronald Cyr ... hmmm, a lot of French Canucks have settled in that area.

Here in Middle Earth, when there is foam like this, on the sea shore, 1 metre high or 1 inch high, it's a sign that a sewerage, or other polluting outlet, is nearby.

But Insta!

Q 1: is Australia's Gold Coast, adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef?

Q 2: Did foam come to the Gold Coast, before the Great Barrier Reef started to get Bleaching events?
