    As a Salvation Army donation shed attendant, I came across a lounge chair that smelled like fish. Pee-yew!

    My dad would have been leading the effort to find me, then reamed me out for scaring my mom, lol.

    Dragonfly….When my daughter went missing (just misplaced, actually) my line was "If she is alive I’m going to kill her!)

    Please use Bold to post Lynn’s Notes. All you have to do is put an * immediately in front of and after the passage you want to bold, with no spaces between it and the first/last letter.Lynn’s Notes:

    At Yathkyed Lake, the men had set up a camp. Without warm clothing, a tent or supplies, they created a windbreak by putting the canoe on its side. A tiny fire was kept going as they dried their socks and underwear over it. They hung their clothing on ground willows, and all traded off using the one pair of boots they had to go in search of firewood. They placed rocks in a ring around the fire. Two men at a time would lie under the canoe, and the other packed hot rocks around them. When they were able to move, they traded places. The wind and the flies were relentless. They tried to keep their spirits up by joking. Rod knew that his dad would be doing everything possible to find them. The ELT (emergency locator transmitter) had not gone off in the plane, so there would be no radio signal for rescuers to follow, but Rod’s dad, Tom, knew the territory. He knew the ETA, and he would be quick to know there had been an accident. Every motion of the wind sounded like a rescue aircraft. Every minute that went by seemed like forever.

    It’s kind of ironic that this arc is running right now. Over the past few days, the Coast Guard and lots of volunteers have been searching the waters between Jupiter, Florida and Melbourne, Florida, for two 14 year olds who left for a short fishing trip just when bad weather hit. The boat was found, with one of two life jackets in it, but no kids…

    But they taste nothing like pastrami.
