Duluth

I am going to Duluth today with a foreboding sense of doom that must have carried the average Pompeian into that fateful day:

"DULUTH, Minn. — The Edgewater Hotel and Waterpark was evacuated Thursday night after an imitation volcano at the center of a swimming pool began to smoke and then started on fire. No injuries were reported."

A hotel guest says the flames rose three to four feet in the air and there was a lot of smoke in the water park.

The fire, which started around 6:40 p.m., forced some guests to flee into the parking lot in their bare feet and swimsuits. Hotel workers gave them blankets and directed guests to the nearby Perkins and Black Woods restaurants.

Perhaps the gods were upset over this perversion of justice:
"SUPERIOR, WIS. - A 20-year-old Superior man received probation after he was convicted of having sexual contact with a dead deer. The sentence also requires Bryan James Hathaway to be evaluated as a sex offender and treated at the Institute for Psychological and Sexual Health in Duluth."
This is going to spark a lot of lively conversation around the family breakfast table this weekend. I've been able to convince a couple family members that while the behavior is disturbing and disgusting, convicting him for cruelty to an animal for screwing a dead deer is wrong.
