| Above us lurks the skywalk subculture
Crystal Jaeger, 24, grew up in Nebraska but never learned to love the harsh winters. When the temps are bitingly cold, she refuses to go outside unless she absolutely, positively has to. Luckily, she can walk from her place of work, Security National Properties at 13th and N streets, to grab coffee, eat lunch, take a speed-walking break and even make the short trek to a parking garage at the end the day — all without going outdoors to face Jack Frost in all his gleeful sadism.See, Jaeger is part of a different species of Lincolnite: the Skywalkers. .
Determination and lots of tracks help Mich. police bust alleged chop ...
BANGOR TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) The determination of an angry snowmobile owner plus miles and miles of tracks in the snow have led police to a suspected chop shop for stolen snowmobiles.
Police say the man discovered Saturday that his snowmobile was missing from his home in Van Buren County's Arlington Township in southwest Michigan.
The man, whose name was not released, called police and set out on a borrowed snowmobile following tracks in the snow for about 10 miles through fields and along roads.
Relatives and friends followed by car as he trailed the tracks to a home in Bangor Township.
"The tracks that they had followed led right up to a garage door," Michigan State Police said in a news release.
Inside the garage, police found the man's snowmobile, already disassembled, plus three others and many snowmobile parts.
