Ben Stein rules.
Heads up, Ben Stein ping!
California is one of the most beautiful states of the nation, and Southern California has arguably the best weather in America. There is a reason the real estate is so high, despite all the social ills of congestion.
Ben don't tell the world about Northern Idaho...all those liberals will come here and ruin it!!!
What an absolutely heart warming article.
The news stories on the nightly news in America might just as well come from Al-Jazeera as from America
I had learned some good lessons about fathers and sons, too. Tommy stayed calm through the entire ordeal, treating it as an adventure. So did Peter’s son. I was the only one who was terrified. I learned if the main male leader in a group of fathers and sons stays calm, the kids stay calm.
That was the most important paragraph in the entire story. Dad's, it's our job to remain in control in uncontrollable situations. I teach my kids, and my Scouts my personal slogan: "It's not an adventure till something goes wrong."
Panicking in the face of danger is the first way to escalate the danger, real or perceived.
Wonderful piece.
Some friends of mine had a place (probably still do) on or just off Bottle Bay. Loved that place and the area.
BTW, the SMOKEHOUSE just south of the bridge into Sandpoint has the best jerky I've ever had . . . cuts his own wood. Hunts some of his own meat. Salmon, deer, moose, turkey, beef, deer--great stuff. Not cheap but well worth it.
BTW, the Nazi's in the Couer d'Lane sp? area are NOT myths. But there are not hoards of them.
A BUMP for Ben Stein...
