It's not every day the town you live in makes national headlines. This is the first time in three years that I've missed Winterfest in Lake Geneva and of course the one time I miss it, they decide to hold a car swimming race. Just kidding.

My initial reaction to seeing the news that nearly 20 cars took a plunge into Geneva Lake should not have been laughter. I should have been concerned, worried and hopeful that everyone involved was ok. But when you live in a tourist town like Lake Geneva, it's pretty easy to get together with the rest of the locals and suggest that karma had finally gotten all of those tourists from Illinois that spend so many months taking over our little slice of heaven.

The question on everyone's mind, especially if you're from that area, was "how many cars do you suppose have Illinois license plates?" I still don't have an answer for that and it's not important, but what it is important, is this someone turned this tragic event into a movie and created a hilarious trailer.

I'm so disappointed that I missed this.
