Imagine getting paid $6.8 million for a 4-year contract to beat up people in the ice rink. This is what Derek Boogaard’s contract is worth with the New York Rangers. In a New York Times article, Derek Boogaard was the most feared enforcer standing 7 feet tall on his skates. His job was not to play, but to fight others in the ice rink. He was known as the boogeyman. He could shatter a nose or jaw with a single punch. At the height of his career, he earned millions of dollars. During enforcement

Wrestling Match Loss   As I crawled off of the mat in anguish, I couldn't believe that I let it happen again. My one chance to settle the score and truly prove that I was better, was gone.

The Dangers of Avalanches Imagine a day of skiing or snowmobiling, where all is good and that last mountain must be conquered. Once on the slope, it may seem perfect, until the snow begins to give away and start to slide. Tumbling down a slope moving at 150 miles per hour, smashing into trees, becoming buried under 100,000 tons of snow, only to guess which way is up, how does one survive? Will the rescuers be able to find the buried victim? For centuries, mountain dwellers and travelers

Like today’s politics also, the snowflake isn’t going to come out of the avalanche and take responsibility for the destruction it started.
