Camp Frisky Pony II
Nick is bigger stud than anyone gives him credit for.
Mike almost became a Starved Rock statistic. I was frantically thinking about the phone calls I would need to make if he fell to his death off of a canyon.
Lots of things happened in the time period of yore.
Gene is a hoot!
Allison should wear appropriate camping/hiking shoes.
They have gas way out in Ottawa.
Nick walks around his home in nothing but a sarape.
3 people blabbing away all night in a tent create a lot of condensation and a lot of hot air.
Allison successfully avoided having to use the port-o-potty the whole time.
Nick really likes to cuddle.

I want to party with these kids!
Cops Bust High School Root Beer Kegger
By ROBERT IMRIE,AP

WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) - Cars lining the street. A house full of young people. A keg and drinking games inside. Police thought they had an underage boozing party on their hands.
But though they made dozens of teens take breath tests, none tested positive for alcohol. That's because the keg contained root beer.
The party was held by a high school student who wanted to show that teens don't always drink alcohol at their parties. It has gained fame on YouTube.com.
Dustin Zebro, 18, said he staged the party after friends at D.C. Everest High School got suspended from sports because of pictures showing them drinking from red cups.
The root-beer kegger was "to kind of make fun of the school," he said. "They assumed there was beer in the cups. We just wanted to have some root beer in red cups and just make it look like a party, but there actually wasn't any alcohol."
Zebro purchased a quarter-barrel of 1919 Classic American Draft Root Beer, and by 10 p.m. Saturday, the scene outside his rural Wausau home had all the makings of a teen drinking party - cars, noise and kids.
Kronenwetter Police Chief Daniel Joling said an officer was dispatched to the home March 1 on a complaint of cars blocking the road.
Juveniles began coming out of the house after the officer used his squad car's loudspeaker to warn that cars would soon be towed, Officer Jason Rasmussen wrote in his report.
Nearly 90 breath tests were done, and officers even searched locked rooms for hiding teens.
"It was a tremendous waste of time and manpower, but we still had a job to do, and our officers did it," Joling said. "If one kid had come there, even hadn't drank there, but had come there and had been drinking and had left and crashed and burned, then what would the sentiment be? Why didn't the police check everybody out?"
D.C. Everest schools Superintendent Kris Gilmore did not immediately return a message Friday.

Occupation inaccurately associated with sexiness...
Fantasy -- Librarian
The "sexy librarian" look: It gives off the vibe that behind those glasses there's an insatiable lust just waiting to be expressed in a secluded row of stacks. We've never seen Lisa Loeb or Tina Fey in a library, but they certainly fit the bill.
5. Librarian -- Reality
To seduce an actual librarian, you'll need to be well-versed in Jane Austen and Emily Dickinson. You'll also have to be able to discuss the continued marginalization of the Dewey Decimal System. (How tight are your pants, now?)

Glamping!
Do they have this in Starved Rock?
NEW YORK (AP) — Did a bad experience turn you off to camping? Maybe your tent leaked in a rainstorm or you shivered all night in a borrowed, smelly sleeping bag. Or that thin foam pad you were trying to sleep on didn't do much to protect your back from the rocky, uneven ground beneath your tent.
It doesn't have to be that way. Tour companies and resorts now offer luxury camping, and the term "glamping" — shorthand for glamorous camping — is starting to turn up in reports from the United Kingdom and Canada. The New York Post recently mentioned "glamping" in an article on a new website for luxury travel, www.globorati.com. (The story also referred to "jetrosexuals" as a globetrotting jetsetter who thinks nothing of hopping on a plane to Asia for a shopping spree.)
In British Columbia, Canada, the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort, a 30-minute boat ride from the town of Tofino, is offering "glamping" on a fjord on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Tents have Persian carpets, down duvets and even electricity. There's a sauna and hot tubs on site, and activities including fishing, horseback riding, kayaking, hikes and wildlife-watching.
But if you thought camping was a budget vacation option, you'll have to readjust your expectations for glamping. Three-night packages at the Clayoquot resort begin at $4,100 a person, double occupancy. Details at 888-333-5405 or www.wildretreat.com.
Other tour companies offer luxury tent accommodations as well. Abercrombie & Kent has several trips to Africa that include high-end camping, such as guided tours of Botswana that include game drives and accommodations in "walk-in tents with extra length beds, crisp sheets and warm blankets," plus a "mess tent" for what's described as "bush-style haute cuisine" served on china and linen tablecloths. Details at www.abercrombiekent.com or 800-554-7016.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Kent, Rest in Peace....
http://daily-journal.com/archives/dj/display.php?id=411860
My favorite Mr. Kent moment was when he requested that we close down the library and seal the doors at once because someone had allegedly stolen his backpack. He demanded a security tape to watch only after he realized that his backpack was actually in the trunk of his car.
