The High Country of NC was shocked to learn about a 52-year-old man drowning in Trout Lake last Wednesday. A tragic accident really, all he was trying to do was go after one of his dogs that had wandered onto the frozen lake surface.

You’ll notice in the picture that Jon is holding a bunch of bananas. Yes, that’s right, bananas. Jon is a healthy eater, so much so in fact that he would sometimes eat 3 to 4 bananas a day while he was in the office. Read more »
