“Foolish and Dangerous” 0

Having been a teen-aged boy and, despite what you might hear from my kids, remembering clearly what it was like (for some escapades, too clearly), I would say the “foolish and dangerous” pretty much sums it up.

Except, of course, for the “exciting and daring” part, that grown-ups never seem to get:

Police in the Australian state of Queensland have rescued three teenagers who tried to use air mattresses to float 30km (20 miles) on floodwaters.

The three boys were trying to get from Ipswich to central Brisbane via the swollen Bremer river.

Police said the trio had floated 15km before they were retrieved, labelling their actions “foolish and dangerous”.

Finally, this is website is a hobby.
