Me, either.
Called my wife over to watch those. She was likewise enthralled.
She mentioned how without Youtube you's likely never see that.
Youtube is really something else. Can be very educational, besides
entertaining.
It made me want to do some study on Kansas. I got me to thinking how
the Indians and early settlers survived during the winter.
Man, Eisboch has it good with that driveway!
Just steps from the hot chocolate.
hehe.

Thanks. Ordered one.
Kansas contained some of the highlights of a long family road trip I
took in '88. I like the plains and the seas. Don't care much for
hills. Especially ones with driveways. (-:

Wes and a fellow named Rich or Rick Clarkson were the two great
news-feature photographers in Kansas and Missouri in the 60's and 70's.
Clarkson worked at the Topeka paper.

I read that coconuts kill more people than sharks. Hundreds per year.

I think that's a fable to illustrate the rarity of sharks killing
people.

There may actually be that many. Fishing guide I used in Tortuguero, Costa
Rica almost had the son die from coconut bonk. Only reason the kid
survived, is they had enough money to air evacuate to a good hospital in San
Jose. He said they are quite a few injuries from falling coconuts. We
witnessed a couple different conocuts falling from trees, so extrapolated to
the major coconut growing regions, there is a good chance that 150 are
killed.

I don't doubt it. Ours are small and still make a good "thunk" when the hit
the ground after a 13 ft drop.
Stay warm.
