Stupidity

The pictures were taken as I was bike riding at about 35 degrees or so.

Story 1: Alasks by Fairbanks. It has been 55 below zero already in this area. (That cold usually is seen in Jan) A MAN, WIFE AND 2 KIDS moved into the wilderness with a canvas hunting tent with a wood stove to live for the winter. They just got rescued.
the mom had severe frostbite. It is crazy living in that place with a house. I lived in a village at 20 and 30 below zero. It would be crazy to attempt living in a canvas tent in such extreme conditions. 12 dogs also had to be rescued.

Story 2: Anchorage: A man was babysitting with his buddy. The called an 9 year old boy to come see them. The boy did. The man had a can of flammable spray and held a lighter to it. This made a torch and the boys face got burned up. That was Saturday.
The boy went to school on Monday and the school called the authorities. The 2 adult males were arrested. They said they just wanted to toughen the boy up. The boy was taken to the hospital. The men or the mom when she got home did not take the boy to the hospital - crazy stuff. Sadly, this was a real story.

Since living in AK: I still follow what is happening. Speaking of what is happening in AK: SARAH PALIN IN NUTS! I have been following the Palin Book and following the reaction of folks in AK. She is not making many friends in Alaska.
