Crappy way to die
Wis. man drowns trying to fix septic tank

LAKE HALLIE, Wis. — A man trying to do maintenance on a septic tank behind his home apparently slipped, fell head first into the opening and died from cold water drowning, the coroner said.
The accident happened about noon Monday at the man's home in the village of Lake Hallie, said Chippewa County Coroner Kay Gerrits. A plumbing snake — a device used to remove clogs in pipes — was found near the tank.
The 82-year-old man's wife saw him fall into the tank opening.
"When she ran outside, he had sunk in deeper," Gerrits said.
Gerrits pronounced the man dead after he was taken to a hospital.
The man's name was withheld pending notification of relatives."When I'm driving along and I see a sign that says, CAUTION: SMALL CHILDREN AHEAD,
I slow down, and then it occurs to me, I'm not afraid of small children"!

We dallied under
Vine maples and sapling alders
Searched for lady slippers
But instead
Found blackberry riots and
Desiccated branches
An old skid road
Brought ghost ferns and
Hollows filled with
Skunk cabbage
While waves wrapped
Intricate lacings of weeds
'Round mule spinners
His cyanotic eyes
Were hard enough to make
The sun turn tail and
Tender enough to attract me
To his world of illusion

On I-55 near Canton MS there is a very pretty but odd looking lake. It's very symetrical and lined with plastic, also has what appears to be a fountain in the middle. Two drunks, not from the area, pulled over near it one night and went swimming, one drowned. What they did not know was that this is the sewage lagoon for the City of Canton. The survivor, last I heard, was covered with sores from some kind of infection received from the water.
