it wasnt even really about anything. it was just this horrible, pervasive, profound fear, like i was a character in a clive barker novel.

all that happend was i was in this room, and all was blood red, and i had my hand on the door-knob, but some unseen unknown force was keeping me from turning the handle, but finally i did, and then i was running in slow motion out of the room yelling "help me help me". then i woke up, terrified. i have never had a dream half as scary as that. i had to sleep in a chair the next nite because i could not get back in bed from the fear.

It's your fifteen minutes of fame.

Your grandson, who had been lost in the mountains, has been found. You go on television with your husband, happy to announce that he is alive and in good shape.

This is your one chance to be seen by the entire world.



This is how the world sees you, forever:

What were they teaching the boy?
While I'm thrilled the boy was found, there were a couple interesting points brought up recently about the search.

(1) The searchers were surprised that the boy went uphill.
One of the first things you learn in Search Management is, kids GO UP HILL.

(2) The Uncle said the boy hid from searchers because his "Stranger Danger" instinct kicked in. He even was reluctant to drink water when he was first found because of this.
What have his parents been teaching him?

About 25 years ago we had a search in Trinity County.

We were told not to search the ridge surrounding his house because kids dont go uphill. We ran sirens and lights on the patrol cars to "attract" him.

We found him the next day, on the ridge looking down at his house, dead from hypothermia. When we questioned his parents we learned that his dad would tell him "if your bad, I'll call the cops and they will come and take you away"

Looks like a long day dealing with the media on a windy day, eh.

Bit... Are you one of those who brings a brush and a compact on the trail so that you can emerge from the wilderness looking fresh for the world?

Well as a parent of 3 youngsters myself I guess I wouldn't care how I looked, hell I don't look good even on a good day, LOL

I'd say the kid did a pretty good job of hanging in there for 4 days.

To instill in your children such a fear of strangers or law enforcement that they are afraid to seek help is dangerous.

Cops are not bad people, some strangers may save your life. Teach them the difference!

Google Image "Tequila" with SafeSearch on. There is an image on the first page that is not so safe. I think what's wrong with it is I have never done a bodyshot like that.

This is difficult (looking out my window):



It might be related to the vehicle behind it (that showed up later):

Well I see a piece of trash on the ground and the front car has its license plate on the back car on the trunk, so also if you notice the back car has a bent license plate. So other than the trash on the ground what is wrong with the picture??

Trash? I live in the ghetto. I'll show you a real street trash pile another time. LOL.

The truck, with a very banged up front, chose to park right in front of a fire hydrant. Impossible for you, I know.

That car shows up (1AMish), the kid hits that tree trying to park it. A bunch of them are hanging out to the right, on the steps of an unoccupied rowhouse, smoking something until a cop car comes along and everyone walks away. A Kid drops something at the curb. There is a screwdriver there. On the trunk of the car, in the picture, is a non-matching license plate.

My car is parked right across the street from that jeep. We decided not to pay the 100/mo for a private spot in the back (our "yard" is Fenced in), accessed by the alley. Two nights ago someone was carjacked in our alley.

I think this is starting to wear on us.
