We could all relate anecdotes of the "stupid" things we've done, mainly as kids, sometimes as parents.  Mea culpa...in the early '70s we would take a 1 1/2 ton '37 Ford flatbed over to Blachley, cut 2 cords of ash firewood and bring it back to sell in Eugene.  We'd make little 'pockets' at the front-top of the load and our kids would ride back up there in the fresh air.  Wow....if we did this today my wife and I would be prosecuted for "reckless endangering".....relax guys, the statute of limitations has run out.  Ms Donahue clearly used monumentally poor judgment...so many things could have gone wrong.  Life is much safer today...those "merry-go-rounds"  in parks seem to be gone.  Those climbing structures are rare.  Safer kids, fewer broken arms and skinned knees, but likely not as much "good old-fashioned fun."  This should be a lesson for Ms Donahue....there are safer ways to entertain the kids.  "Hey, you kids, get down from that load of firewood!!"  Gary Crum
