We pronounce thee carjacked (ha!) -- a newlywed couple successfully fended off a carjacker in the parking lot of a Taco Bell in San Mateo last Saturday. The groom, still in his tux, left the car running and his new bride in the front seat as he went to pick up a snack on his way to their honeymoon suite -- at which point someone jumped into the car and put it in reverse. The bride opened the door and fell out of the car, as her husband came running, at which point the carjacker rammed the car into the Taco Bell sign and was caught by cops as he attempted to flee on foot. Moral is: make sure you eat something at your wedding reception.

A three-year-old has been reunited with his parents after being discovered wandering the streets of Twin Peaks early Thursday morning. A nurse returning home from work saw the little boy, wearing Blue's Clues pajamas, in the middle of the street on Burnett Avenue and called 911. When the police came by, the little boy sang some Barney songs with them but would not tell them where he lived. They ended up waiting up with him until about 5 a.m., when his frantic mother called the station. Apparently the boy had gotten up in the middle of the night and let himself out of the house. Moral is: I love you, you love me, we're a happy family.

And did you hear all those cars honking downtown yesterday afternoon, like a Philip Glass piece? Taxicab drivers, protesting limos stealing their business. Unexpectedly melodious!
