oh sorry, that guy's wife and three youngest daughters died in the Cali mudslide. He had gone out to get the kids some ice cream, and his oldest daughter was away. He and his wife were high school sweethearts :(

I try not to read this kind of stuff because it just depresses me but he looks just like the husband of one of my best friends and I couldn't help it.
 
yeah his name is something like jimmie or frankie wallet, right? i saw him being interviewed on CNN yesterday and he just looked stunned. i wanted to make a dreadlock/stoner joke but i couldn't.
