One Way To Get Your Name In The Paper

Happened to pick up yesterday's local newspaper, and there on the front page:

'Code 3: Skier buried in avalanche'

is a picture of an old friend and river running buddy. He's one of the people who I first learned white water rafting from, and an avid back country skier. Thankfully, he was rescued quickly. His description:

"It was like swimming Grand Canyon-sized whitewater without a life jacket,"

All I can say is "buddy, try to avoid either avalanches or swimming the Grand Canyon without a life jacket." Glad he's safe.
