i was listening to NPR this morning when a newsbrief came on that said a group of motorists were caught in an avalanche somewhere in Alaska. a couple of them notified the authorities of their predicament by cellular phone. the announcer then went on to say that they told authorities that they were inside a Volkswagen van with a propane heater, so not to worry too much about them in particular. pretty neat. jason |
