Crikey, Croc-guy!

Day two of the tragic coverage of Steve Irwin’s sad, unfortunate demise. Yes, AC 360 was covering it yet again last night. New developments? Nope, I didn’t notice any.

Lots of talk about how to deal with the stingray poison once it’s in you. I’ll just file that all away under nice-to-know.

But what the heck is this fascination we have with people dying? Yeah, it’s sad, but it happened two whole days ago!

Of course, we could milk this whole video footage thing and did he pull out the barb before he died. That might keep the story going for days… weeks even!

I have to say, the one thing I remember from my first aid training is that if something is stuck in you, you have to leave it in or you’ll likely do more damage by removing it. Yes, the only thing I remembered. If only I’d been there… he might still be alive.


On a far-less-gloomy note, the Minnesota Foliage Sticker is ready for sticking! :)
