Little kid, big dreams. When police in Ogden, Utah, pulled over an SUV that was straying between lanes on I-15 Monday morning, they were certain they’d find an impaired driver. Instead, they found a 5-yearold boy, who told them he was on his way to California — to buy a Lamborghini.

This Kentucky woman is a covidiot.
She entered a Lexington gas station over the weekend wearing a face mask — with a hole cut over her nose and mouth.

“Well, since we have to wear them . . . this makes it a lot easier to breathe,” the woman replies.
“Cutting it?” Samaan asks. She nods yes.
