Amazing how this stuff happens. You intend to take a break from the mundane, but find yourself tossing and turning in the wee hours of the morning. I’ve got a few hours before I head into the office, so, let’s talk about a local story.
I came across a story about a college student in Leavenworth who was a lifeguard at the city’s pool. She saved a kid’s life the other day. She is the lifeguard. Isn’t that her job? Yet, when you glance at the story, she’s painted as some calm, college student who came out of nowhere to perform some heroic act.
She’s the lifeguard. She did her job. She performed CPR on the little girl and she lives to tell the story.
Moral of the story? What’s a lifeguard good for if they can’t guard a life?

Most of the lifeguards I’ve ever seen were 16 and more concerned about getting their summer tan than doing their job.
Next week, they will run a story on some cook at McDonalds making the perfect burger. Stay tuned.

ROF, heather!
it’s just like credits after movies and television shows – hey, no one compliments ME every frickin’ time i turn out a document with no typos.
does anyone else remember the old commercial about “what if everyone got listed in the credits for their jobs?” and at the end of the commercial it actually listed credits for that commercial?
