We are seeing some very lucky people

Wobbles and I are in a local Espresso shop today when I see this in one of the weekly papers.

Geeze, can you figure out what went wrong this time?

I don’t know how they figure three have died there in recent years. I can remember pulling out better than half a dozen and assisting in one other drowning investigation. They are way short on this one.

This past weekend we had a DUI miss a turn and park his vehicle in Fernan Lake. He only got wet and didn’t submerge it. Very lucky man.

I like the bit about his glasses- I guess the hypothermia distorted his sense of perspective

It always boggles my mind when people fall in water that cold- in a drysuit, it's no big deal, but without one, it will be a short swim. It's amazing what a little rubber, fleece, and air can do!
