Getting the little ones to listen to mommy and daddy can be a hard cell. Hopefully we all have the potential to get something positive from this negative situation.

BTW, were his injuries terminal?

Lenny&Meriel says:

I'm afraid so, it was the shock that did it

KAP'n Craig says:

The irony is that he had just put on new shorts.

Lenny&Meriel says:

Mate, in a way it's a good thing death was accidental. And imagine the furore if they found any salt on the scene. Clear cut case of a salt and battery.

If only I could find a quick pastable link to tumbleweed.

KAP'n Craig says:

So what you are saying is that since it was accidental no one will be charged.

Nice commentary on the transistory nature of life, Lenny.

It's like a visual poem about death, isn't it? A sort of "Die ode".
Posted 13 months ago. ( permalink )

weaving major & tractor dan says:

Die-ode? I think this was a kill-a-joule. I hope those two little guys have the capacitor to recover from such an ohm-verwhelming tragedy.
