journalism, bikes, and cryogenics

Today I learned that the Denver Post links to the Denver section of YourHub.com, where people can post their own news articles. There, The Iceman, caretaker of The Frozen Dead Guy, posted a story about guys doing a cross-country bike ride for safe access to medical marijuana coming up to help him unload dry ice for $25 bucks each plus lunch.

I think we all heard about The Frozen Dead Guy back in the early 90's when his grandson and daughter, who planned a cryogenic facility in Nederland, CO, had their plans torpedoed by local government and were deported back to Norway for expired visas. I admit to being a little surprised that Grandpa hasn't thawed yet from lack of funds.

So the cool thing (sorry) about being able to post stories that have you in them is that you know the quotes will always be exact.

"I wonder if there was actually any publicity value to unloading dry ice for those medical marijuana guys or if they really just did it for the money and lunch," said Miss Molly, who has experience feeding serious cyclists. "Lunch could be a pretty big draw."
