i
admire this cyclist braving the elements. had an
eventful crossing. alarm sounded. that got everyone's attention. "this is a drill." palpable relief. "launch rescue boat #2." the ferry slowed. passengers gathered at a window where a worker pointed to the bright green hull of a capsized kayak. i was surprised they stopped the boat to do coast guard work, but the compulsory solidarity of the maritime ethic makes me wonder why the same rules of mutual aid don't extend to society in general. they quickly retrieved the kayak that had probably been carried off by a king tide swollen with heavy rain and snow melt. i dreaded what i'd find in tahuya as we were told the property floods, and sure enough half the yard was under water that reached the garage foundation. it even dislodged a 4x4 carport post that floated forlorn in our brand new lake. but hey, who doesn't long for waterfront property? |
