TVA and Knoxnews Unfamiliar with Google

One thing is certain. At some point in our life, we will die. (Unless Ray Kurzweil, Aubrey de Grey, and fellow scientists succeed at treating aging as a disease – read some debate and discussion, and, I am certain they will but it will be affordable only to the ultra wealthy) WBIR and Knoxnews reported that a man had jumped from The Bluffs near Tellico Dam and died. Accidents happen particularly when thrill seeking. This does not mean The Bluffs should be fenced off and protected by armed guards. Accidents happen. It is unfortunate and I feel badly for his family.

In the Knoxnews article, the report:

[TVA spokeswoman Nancy] Mitchell said she did not know where the man was from, “but I’m assuming (he was) fairly local,” she said. [Source, Knoxnews, ID released on jumper killed at "Bluffs"]

Knoxville is a small town. When I read about someone around my age passing away, I google them to see if I knew them. In 30 seconds of reading the Knoxnews article, I knew exactly where the deceased lived and thanks to Streetviews can tell you the style and color of his house. Yes, this could a different person with the same name but based upon the search results, I highly doubt it. The article also states "his next of kin were notified between 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Saturday" which seems contradictory to Nancy Mitchell’s statement. Poor reporting? or poor release of information by TVA?

We interrupt this regular scheduled blogging for programming. I’m dragging. I must bring coffee back into this house. I wonder how sickly those energy drinks makes one feel. Must break to juggle and get some oxygen back into my blood.

On a side note, I got the boys sent off to Boy Scout camp this morning. They are lined up for a week of horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, leather work, first aid studies, wood working and archery. They should have a blast! The at the end of the week, Tommy has freshman orientation. Now we need a miracle to happen so we can find a baby sitter for the three and six year old and the two dogs for Friday.
