This isn’t a news blog, but I read this in the paper and wanted to post it:
Steve Lieder of Antigo, Wisconsin, plucked a bottle from White lake 11 years after his good friend Joshua baker, who died in a wreck last year, set it afloat with a note inside that read, “My name is Josh Baker. I am 10. If you find this put it on the news. The date is 4/16/95.”
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I always wondered, well, not a whole lot, but why, if you throw a bottle in the ocean, why doesn’t it just wash right back in to about the same place? The waves always come into shore.
I know that was a lake and what are the odds his friend would find that bottle after 11 years. That is sad.
That’s an excellent question, Pork.
Oh, now you had to do it, just couldn’t resist, huh?
Well, see if I ever try to have a serious discussion again over such a grave subject. You and Vicki have squashed my sensitivity
I’m sorryyyyyyyyy!
I just wanted to post that I grew up in White Lake, Wisconsin. Josh Baker actually was my 1st boyfriend, crush, love, everything! Such an extraordinary event to happen in a small town of 374 people!! Josh lived a very short life but he accomplished so much more than most individuals are able to in a lifetime! The impact he’s made in each and every person’s hearts that have been lucky enough to be a part in his short lived life, will never be forgotten. Josh if you are listening, just know that you will never be forgotton and your achievements will never be overlooked. . . . I love you and always will!
Until I see you again in the sky!
I love you
