Last night I got a laugh out of:

"The ground is sucking the heat right out of him..." (paraphrased)
and
"We need to start a fire, but can't because of the gasoline on the ground..." (paraphrased)

I'm looking at all the fine grass around them wondering why there's no attempt to put a mat of grass underneath Jake and then start piling more on top of him. I would have loved it if Mom and Dad showed up after being retrieved by Mimi and found a weird pile of hay next to the truck with Jake and Stanley's voices coming from within.

People immediately think "fire" when they need to get warm, and forget all about trying to trap the heat that's already there with insulation.

Granted, that was probably a more realistic portrayal of the way most people might react in such a situation, and so I was more frustrated with realism than the lack thereof for once. laugh

And why is everyone burning 50 million candles in their homes at once?

I was laughing at this as well. Apparently, besides a salt mine, Jericho is also noted for its scented candle mine. LOL

Still, I was entertained... On many levels...
