STORAGE UNIT FIRE: The wood and metal structure was deemed a total loss; fire officials said what little survived of contents sustained smoke damage. Looking at the blackened, melted remnants plainly shows how unlikely anything is to be salvaged. Olathe Fire Chief Matt Patrone said the fire's cause at Olathe Mini Storage is under investigation, as the volunteer department tries to cover all bases. The point of origin had not been determined, but based on what crews saw when they arrived at 11:34 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, it was possibly in the center of the units. FATAL PLANE CRASH: A Florida couple who had eloped for a small mountain wedding in Telluride were killed on their way home Monday afternoon, when their small plane went down in rugged terrain in Ingram Basin, east of Telluride. Costas John Sivyllis, 30, and Lindsey Vogelaar, 33, his bride of four days, were found dead in the wreckage of their Beechcraft Bonanza, which outdoor recreationists found about an hour after it took off from Telluride Regional Airport at about 12:45 p.m. MAD HATTER DAY: Today is all about being "mad as a hatter" as October 6 celebrates National Mad Hatter Day. The fictional character, The Hatter or The Mad Hatter, from Alice in Wonderland is silly, so let out your silly side today. Did you know the phrase "mad as a hatter" comes from the late 18th and early 19th centuries when haberdasheries used mercury nitrate? When tradesmen were exposure to the metal over time, they developed symptoms making people believe they were mad. So in celebration of the Hatter, why is a raven like a writing desk?
