*** begin quote ***

Park rangers and more than 100 volunteers worked together to find a missing eight-year-old Maryland boy who got separated from his family while visiting a cave in Arizona. 

Tzion Maron, of Baltimore, went missing near the opening of the Lava River Caves near Flagstaff on Wednesday after his family was unable to locate him in the immediate area, prompting search and rescue crews to be called around 6:15pm. 

*** end quote ***

No details about how he got lost or what he did  — right or wrong.  Would be good for an “after action  —  lessons learned”.

Watching children over the years, I’ve learned (the hard way) to never ever take your eyes off them.  They seem to be able to “disappear” in a heart beat.

Now there are things like Apple air tags and Angel Sense to help.

If you’re not holding their hand, then you better have your eyes on them.

Glad for the good result.  Great help from various groups.  And a lesson to all of us to watch “our” kids.  Even if they are not “ours”.

Woman is left SCREAMING in pain after she dips her hand in boiling hot spring at Yellowstone National Park: ‘It’s hot! It’s very hot!’

  •     An unidentified woman dipped her hand into the 175-degree Silex Spring in Yellowstone National Park, leaving her in searing pain 
  •     After she dips her hand briefly into the blue water, she quickly leaned backward and scrambled to her feet, running away, screaming: ‘It’s hot! It’s very hot!’ 
  •     Gary Mackenzie, who filmed the incident, said he warned them not to leave the boardwalk, but they forewent his warning

RANT: Norfolk Southern should be ashamed if not penalized for this inexcusible behavior

Sunday, April 30, 2023

Shocking video shows kids crawling under a Norfolk Southern freight train as carriages continually block their route to school – and start moving WITHOUT warning

  •     Norfolk Southern trains have frequently blocked crossings in Hammond, Indiana, for hours 
  •     Schoolchildren are often late to class and have to crawl over and under stopped trains to get to school 
  •     Indiana is in the top five states with the most complaints about blocked rail crossing. Texas tops the list, followed by Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Tennessee

Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen.  And, if I was on the jury, I’d make sure that an “eye watering” judgement would get everyone’s attention.

I read recently in Japan that the Railway Company there put “turtle conduits” under their tracks so that turtles could migrate safely.  I bet Norfolk Southern would not survive in Japan with their careless lack of regard for human life. 

I can’t believe that the political parasite class can’t get this “fixed”!  Why else do we tolerate them?

I’m going to put on my citizen journalist hat on and ask Norfolk Southern for comment.  Any wager about response time?

Simple question: What was his Covid vaccine status? 

Harder question: Did anyone DEMAND an autopsy?
