A Lowe's in Georgia has rehired a woman it fired for trying to stop suspected shoplifters. "I didn't expect to get terminated," she told local news. Rincon Police Department said that on June 25, three people visited the Lowe's store, "loaded multiple items into shopping carts, and exited the store without paying for the merchandise." Hansbrough "was fired for attempting to stop the theft" because her action of grabbing the cart violated company policy, the police said. "They say that if you see somebody stealing something out the door, not to pursue, not to go out," Hansbrough told local news outlet The Effingham Herald.

What does any of that have to do with an astronaut playing golf on the moon? Saunders believed Shepard’s “miles and miles” remark to have been made tongue-in-cheek, an almost instinctive reflex of his hyper-competitive, “fighter-jock” nature. “We always talk about getting to the moon, landing on the moon, returning back to Earth – that’s how we think of the moon,” Odom said.
