SOTD rescue. Just behind my SOTD is a young girl standing in the water bottom right of the main bridge support. I noticed her climbing down the support as I was setting up my photo. I took the flick and put my gear away. I then noticed she had lowered herself in the water and picked up something from the water. She was trying to pull herself up on to the platform, but was unable to. The water is running pretty good still and it is cool. I know that the longer she stayed in the water the the more difficult it would be for her to get out. Not wasting anytime I called Fire & Rescue to come to her aid. I know the men who showed up in a short period of time and pointed out her location. They got her out quickly and in good shape. Turns out she had dropped her phone in the from the top of the bridge.
All's well that ends well.

I'll shave L8r.

well, ‘The Rock’ #3 plate gave a very efficient shave with the Super Iridium, and the Jasmine Tea did an admirable job of keeping everything under control... SWEET!!

 

How did you enjoy the Big Fellow Larry?

 

OMG, that's scary......Glad she got out ok.

 

It's rather aggressive in my opinion. I don't know that I will keep it in the rotation. It's a really nice razor but just not for me I don't think.
