Meghann returns later this week.
Meantime, here’s an Associated Press story that’s been getting a lot of attention online, and in the social media networks:
MONTESANO, Wash. (AP) —
An Elma man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line
after a one-car crash near Montesano. Grays Harbor County
sheriff’s Deputy Dave Pimentel (PIM’-en-tel) said Monday that
50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with
a power pole Friday night and called a relative to pull his car out of
the ditch. When family members arrived they found Messenger
electrocuted. Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a
roadside ditch but didn’t see the live wire. Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through the body.
