Over the years there has always been a rivalry between those that ski in the snow and those that board in it. When snowboarding arrived it was seen by purists as a bunch of rebels on the slopes akin to skateboarders on city streets. In fact, that isn’t too far from the truth with snowboard […]
Who knew delivering packages could be so dangerous beyond the occasional dog bite? Charles delivers for Amazon and last week he had a terrifying moment when he walked across a customer’s lawn and the ground gave way. If that wasn’t bad enough the hole he fell into was for the septic tank. Yucky. Charles tried […]
We always hear about backup players coming into football games and using “late game heroics” to win the game. In the world of sports it’s a big moment and may propel that player into the limelight and bigger paychecks. To majority of the world it doesn’t affect too much of everyone’s life.

This time of year there are a few things we’re reminded of weather-wise: slow down in bad weather, make sure your cell phone is charged, wear a warm coat, and stay off the ice when it’s not safe. Every year you see a picture or news story of someone going through the ice with a […]

We’ve all seen deer make incredible jumps. I’ve seen them jump over fences close to 6 feet tall and bound over gaps of several feet. I know people that have had deer literally jump over their car to have a better story than having hit the animal dead on. Any hunter can tell you a […]
How many action movies have we seen since the the 1980s that have a dramatic rescue scene? At some point the hero narrowly escapes the death as they jump from a car that’s about to explode or they pull someone from the burning wreckage just as it falls from a cliff. Then there is always […]
