darwinian destiny

As if there aren't enough perils to dodge in the average day. Wacky Oregonian, Kent Couch, recently fitted his lawn chair with 150 helium-filled balloons and wafted 235 miles into Idaho. Is it just me, or does this feat bear consideration for a Darwin Award? No... wait a minute... he lived to tell the story - so no award... this time.

  1. At least his beer is probably cold at that altitude!

  2. Kathy, we can always count on you to remember the most important aspects of pretty much any story - and how it relates to beer. Thanks for keeping me on track! (:

  3. Did you hear that he's done this before... many times. His goal is to travel far enough to land in the next state. I gotta admire his tenacity.
    Maybe his wife is the one who keeps prodding him to go. Hmmm... might wanna check on his life insurance policy.
