Man survived by eating rotten meat

Umm. I’m just wondering if he would have fared better if he hadn’t eaten the rotten meat. I mean, it was only 4 days. Keeping hydrated is much more important, and easier to do if you’re not throwing up constantly.
But good for him. Glad he’s ok.
Man trapped under car survived on rotten meat – Telegraph

A Canadian paramedic trapped under his all-terrain vehicle ate rotten meat and fended off snarling animals to survive for four days in Alberta bush country before he was discovered.
Ken Hildebrand of Fort McMurray was collecting animal traps about 50 miles southwest of Calgary on Jan 8 when his vehicle hit a rock and rolled over, trapping him underneath.
Mr Hildebrand kept himself alive, if sick, by eating the rotting meat of the animals he had collected and using a beaver carcass to keep himself warm.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
