Pretty sure Putin isnt going to die this year. but that means Navalny more than likely will so I will replace him in Putin's place. Taking off Ruggs, Rivera and Saban as well, This years list: Shannen Doherty Greta Thunberg (shes my young ringer. lots of private jet flying and she pisses off enough people to cause someone to go after her) Dan Rather Alexei Navalny Jerry Jones Bruce Willis Mick Jagger Julie Andrews Robert Duvall Jane Fonda in the previous 5-6ish years we have done this I had 1 correct pick. 2 in a year is odd for me. sad shes gone. but I would love to be right about Jerry and Jane this year.

I live right next to one (not even all that big of a lake), and like clockwork we get 6 deaths a year almost exactly as described. The muddy water combined with debris is always the culprit, and it usually takes a couple of days for them to find the bodies. It's so bad that search and rescue practices down the street pretty much year round.

July 17, 20241 yr 9 minutes ago, BamaATL said: That sucks, always where a life jacket on a lake. Yes! We just had a mishap a week ago. My wife and daughter went out with some of her friends and their daughters for a girl's day out on the lake with a friend's pontoon. As they were coming in to top off the tank, her friend got out of the throttle and one of the 8 yr old girls went over the front, funneled between the two pontoons and got hit by the prop. Cut her thigh almost to the bone (luckily, missed her femoral artery), had a big cut on her head, and fractured her pelvis. But she had her life jacket on so they were able to get to her. Note: had that been me going over the front, I'd hope I didn't have on a lifejacket in hopes I could get deep enough to be missed by the prop!

Life jackets are essential but someone at the helm who knows what they are doing is just as essential.

It's so bad that search and rescue practices down the street pretty much year round. I worked at Hamilton Pool for a while, fortunately while the pool was closed for swimming. Drownings were nearly annual there before, and no more than about 100 people can swim there each day. It's insane to me that poor swimmers, or parents of poor swimmer, take no steps to avoid such things.
