WOW

So the latest news around here is that the confirmed that the body found up north is that of Brandon Crisp (www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2008/11/09/7352311-sun.html)
 How the poor boy died is even more sad.  Fell out a tree and sustained injuries that killed him.  Alone in the dark.  Poor boy.  15yrs old, so young.  I feel so bad for the parents.   They did the right thing by taking away his Xbox cause they were concerned he was using it too much.  He left the house in a huff.  He packed a backpack of stuff, father helped him with that.  Thinking he'll blow off some steam and come home.  He didn't.  3 weeks went by and they found him.  Foul play is not suspected.  *sigh*  Tragic accident and being a young kid with the mind send that you can  live forever.

I also read in the paper today about a jogger in Arizona that got bit by a rabid fox.  Did u read this?  I think she is fantastic to keep her wits about her like that, but a bit nutty at the same time!  The fox bit her arm and wouldn't let go.  She held onto it, ran back to her car (2.5km away) and threw it in her trunk.  Drove to hospital and got animal tested which it did have rabies and now she needs the shots.  Hope she does ok, she is a amazing person! I don't know if she's smart or just off her rocker LOL

Then there is the case of George Garratt, 19yr old from Britain, now known as Captain Fantastic Faster Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined.  He changed his name to that huge new one on this online service for $20.  His Grandma is not happy, hasn't spoken to him since :)  He says he "wanted to be unique".  Well, that he is.  Not sure if he put any thought on how that might effect him in his future.  And it might not be a Legal name change either.  I think it's funny, something a 19yr old would do :)

Best Wishes
