Happy happy 2008 World Bloggers and readers!
Here is what NOT to do with your snow machine:
Case number: 07-108009
Type: MVC- Injury, off highway
Text: On 12-30-07 at approximately 1710 hours, Troopers responded to a cabin at mile 88 of the Parks Highway to investigate a collision between a snowmachine and a pedestrian. Investigation revealed that Kyra Peterson, age 28 of Anchorage, had wedged a glove into the throttle lever on her snowmachine so that the throttle would be open as she attempted to start it. Peterson started the snowmachine and the snowmachine accelerated without Peterson on it. The snowmachine traveled approximately 450 feet and struck Kyle Houghton, age 33 of Willow, at approximately 30 MPH. The snowmachine then struck a Ford Ranger and a Chevy Blazer that are both owned by Houghton. Houghton's vehicles sustained several thousand dollars in damage, as did the snowmachine. Houghton sustained multiple injuries and was transported to MSRMC. Author: SMC1 Received Sunday, December 30, 2007 7:30 PM and posted Sunday, December 30, 2007 7:52 PM

I just read that on the report last night. I guess her common sense just took a momentary leave of absence, haha.
Where did you take that fish picture? Is that here in Alaska?
Happy New Years Kathy!
Kiana - I borrowed that picture off of Google Images searching for cool fish pictures.
I think it was in the UK somewhere.
My defense would have been "that snowmachine is possessed!"
Freaky things happen. At least the 'victim' is alive! I hope she had insurance.
We had an accident just after Thanksgiving while driving to Vegas to pick up Zeke and Joan. Dumb 17 yr old kid pulled out in front of us. Luckily Dave had stopped at the red light and was slowly accelerating when it happened. The kids hair was hanging in his face. I really don't think he could see us thru his hair!! Our car is fixed...by our insurance co. We just got a letter from our ins. stating it could take months to get a payment from the kids insurance! It's just not fair. We had to pay for the deductable and the rental car.
