Barack O'Llama Visits Nixon Library and Museum
By Chris Epting - AOL NewsThe slow-moving procession crossing the busy intersection next to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, Calif., was truly a traffic stopper. After all, how often is it that drivers and pedestrians get a chance to see Barack O'Llama and the Dalai Llama up close and personal entering the museum grounds? Actually, it happens several times a week. See, this is the route that the folks behind ShangriLlama often take as they allow people to experience "llama walks." It all started a couple of years ago when Paul and Sharon Brucato of Yorba Linda noticed their son ...

Japan's Tsunami Debris to Hit West Coast
By not in system - AOL NewsSEATTLE -- John Anderson has discovered just about everything during the 30 years he's combed Washington state's beaches - glass fishing floats, hockey gloves, bottled messages, even hundreds of mismatched pairs of Nike sneakers that washed up barnacled but otherwise unworn. The biggest haul may come in one to three years when, scientists say, wind and ocean currents eventually will push some of the massive debris from Japan's tsunami and earthquake onto the shores of the U.S. West Coast.
