The inspirational Charles Gonsoulin of Los Angeles, pursuing a Canadian woman
he had met on the Internet, sneaked across the border on foot in February from
the North Dakota side (because a 1984 crime would have prevented his legal
entry), heading for the bus station in Winnipeg, 75 miles away, even though he
had no experience with sub-zero (Fahrenheit) temperatures. When police picked
him up just inside Canada, he was disoriented and had such frostbite that he
lost 10 fingers and most toes, but, he said later, "It was all worth it for
me. It's the difference between sitting around dreaming about things and going
out and getting them." "I know my life is complete." He was scheduled for
deportation as soon as he recovers, and the pair still haven't met. The woman
lives in a Montreal suburb, 1,400 miles from Winnipeg. [Winnipeg Sun, 3-7-05,

Lawrence M. Small, the chief executive of the Smithsonian Institution, was
convicted in 2004 for his collection of South American artifacts that include
the feathers of 219 birds protected by the Endangered Species Act, and was
sentenced to 100 hours of community service. Hearst Newspapers reported in
February that Small had not yet begun his sentence, in that he is still
negotiating for the right to serve it by spending 100 hours lobbying Congress to
change the Endangered Species Act. [Washington Times, 2-17-05]

In October, two pilots of the regional Pinnacle Airlines, with no one else on
board, told air controllers they were taking the craft to its highest listed
altitude (41,000) feet "to have a little fun," but then engines failed. In their
last communication before crashing (according to transcripts published by the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch in March), the crew asked "Is that cool" if they took
the plane to a lower altitude to try to restart the engines. And in separate
fatal incidents, two 20-year-old men assumed that military flak vests are
bulletproof. (They are designed only to protect against shrapnel.) A
vest-wearing man in Orofino, Idaho, "dared" his friend to shoot him (December),
and another, in Hobart, Ind., asked to be shot to prepare him for his upcoming
military service (February). [CBS News-AP, 3-5-05] [WFTV-TV-AP, 12-15-04]

Defensive back Randall Gay wore a New England Patriots jersey as a member of
this year's Super Bowl-winning team, but when one of his former college
professors tried to order a personalized jersey in tribute to Gay in
mid-February, she was turned down. The National Football League's official
online merchandiser, NFLshop.com, refused to imprint "Gay" on the back of a
Patriots jersey because it was a "naughty" word, one of 1,159 the shop has
banned. (Two weeks later, after the Web site Outsports.com picked up the story,
the word was removed from the list.) [Times-Picayune (New Orleans), 3-3-05]

In March, Billy Reed, 49, of Fleetwood, Pa., lost a 19-month battle with the
state Department of Transportation over his insistence that he has a right to
have his eyes closed in his driver's license photo, because of freedom of
expression and his "right to happiness." After a Commonwealth Court ruled
against him, Reed (who said he studies law in his spare time) said he would
probably appeal. "I didn't set out on this as a mission. It's one of those
things that happen in life. Here you are. Life takes you down a path, and you
end up where you are." [Harrisburg Patriot-News, 3-15-05]

In March, an Iowa administrative law judge denied Barbara J. Dutton unemployment
benefits, ruling that her firing as supply clerk at a 12-person Des Moines
company was justified by her incompetence. According to records cited by the
judge, Dutton had earnestly ordered office supplies during an 18-month period
totaling about $230,000, including 16,000 Bic pens and nearly $15,000 worth of
Scotch tape. Since there was no evidence of dishonesty, the company was left
with the conclusion that she was simply overmatched in her job. Said she, "I
didn't realize that I was not needing (everything)." [Des Moines Register, 3-25-05]
