Courtney Love Sells 25%

Entertainment News:
Courtney Love has sold 25% of Nirvana'’s back catalog of music to a former Virgin Record general manager for more than 50 million dollars. See the story at Rolling Stone in their News section. How long do you think the $50 ml will last given her past spending habits? What about that legend that she had something to do with Kurt Cobain's death? Do you feel that she should have received 98% of the rights to the music and the other band members got 2%?

Xtreme Hounds, Alaska Or Bust

March, 21st, 2006 Shelby, Montana-
Xtreme Hounds, Alaska Or Bust
Today we had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Dave and Tessa Peterson who were traveling with their sled dogs to Alaska. They call their sledding venture Extreme Hounds and judging by the trophies they display in the above photo, those dogs live up to their name sake. Dave and Tessa really love their dogs and it shows. The dogs travel in warmth and comfort in the custom trailer which Dave built. At first glance you might think that the dogs have little room, but looking closer, I could see that each compartment is quite large and lined with clean straw. Besides that, there are two dogs to a compartment so they stay even warmer and have companionship. Today the Peterson family was stocking up on fuel (100 gallons) so that they would not have to make too many more stops on their way to Fairbanks. They told NBMC that they make their summer home in Alaska and other times in Park Rapids, Minnesota. We would like to say what a great couple they are but that would be lacking because they are really a trio. Pictured above with them is their son, Miles. He did nothing but grin and coo the whole time we stood out freezing in the cold weather.

Strangest Story

The strangest story which I covered this past week was about a runaway truck that destroyed a gas pump. The unattended pickup rolled uphill, that's right, uphill and then wiped out the fuel pump and nearly knocked down the canopy above it.
