• Two West Jordan, Utah, sisters, 9 and 4 years old, set out before dawn on June 2 with California beaches in their sights, Fox News reported.

Unfortunately, the 9-year-old was driving, and things didn't go as planned.

Just several miles away from home, the little driver veered into oncoming traffic, slamming into a semi-truck.

Both girls were wearing seatbelts, and no one was hurt. Their parents were unaware of the joyride until police called them after the accident.

"I guess they were intending to start their summer vacation a little early," remarked West Valley police spokesperson Roxeanne Vainuku.

Lt. Sean McCarthy added, "I don't know that we'll tell them they were going the wrong way" to reach California. [Fox News, 6/3/2021]

• Small businesses have had to be creative in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, as demonstrated by Club Pro Adult Entertainment in Toronto, Ontario.

The Toronto Sun reported that shutdowns nearly destroyed the strip club -- until owner Teresa Marciano and her staff came up with another idea.

"Since we couldn't operate as a restaurant, the only thing we wanted to do was something outdoors," Marciano said. "Most of our staff and managers love golf, so we tried to marry both industries together."

The new venture, Stiff Shafts, turns the former club's parking lot into a driving range where golfers can aim their shots at caricatures of prominent politicians.

Bartenders and waitstaff will return to provide food and drink to customers, and the dancers will be caddies. [Toronto Sun, 6/4/2021]
