While waiting at the Glen Cove, Long Island, train station, New Yorker Amanda Curtis snapped a photo of a very rare phenomenon- a quadruple rainbow! While prisoners live in cushy conditions at Norway's Bastoy Prison Island, it also has the lowest re-offense rate of any European prison! Up up and away... To work! In clear conditions, with winds below 12 mph, Paul Cox of Gwalchmai, North Wales, parasails through his 10 mile commute in a paramotor!

I think I heard about that Norwegian prison on YouTube’s “Good Mythical Morning” with Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal. As for the four rainbows at one time, one word: wow.

So what does the brilliant Mr. Cox do when he’s leaving work…10 miles from his house….if the forecasts were wrong, it unexpectedly starts raining hard, and the winds kick up?
He’s got way too much equipment with him to stuff into a taxi for a ride home.

When I worked at an airport, I have flown to work. More relaxing than driving in Atlanta traffic.

Anders Behring Breivik was sentenced to 21 years in prison for the mass murder (77 dead) he committed on July 22, 2011. His sentence can be extended for as long as he is deemed a threat, so he will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars. I just hope he is not enjoying “cushy conditions”.

There have been some pretty cool phenomena photographed and videoed lately, “Ice Waves”, “Spider Rain”, etc.

Something’s not working: it seems the harsher our prisons get, the higher the recidivism rate goes. What’s wrong with this picture?
