(That is right. He stops one to two times per day to make a photograph, although he may use one to ten negatives to record the composition, it really is only 'one image' in that respect.)

Yesterday, I helped get an extra large lady back
into her boat after falling
in San Vicente in N. San Diego County. I had just gone past the nice elderly black couple in a new
Ranger
ocean style boat just past Grassy Bay, a favorite bass fishing area of mine. When I got up to them she was telling him she
could no longer hold on (I'm no lifeguard and I feared for her life, but I was
not going to jump in and drown myself- I hoped) and when I motored up to her I
told her to grab my boat (had the aluminum one, the railing is much closer to
the water than their boat was and much easier for her to hold onto.
I was just doing what most others would have done for me. The weird thing is, the very next day,
But when I came up to it no one had stopped to help whoever was in the vehicles, especially the one or ones in the one on its side. I immediately stopped halfway in the slow lane, (they were just off it) put on my emergency blinkers and ran over and saw a guy standing up inside the cab staring at me eye to eye, like a fish in a fish tank. It was not good as he needed to get out before it might catch fire or explode. I reached way up (it was very hard to reach) and opened the door (straight up to the sky, and it was heavy), and helped him climb out. Thank God he was able to climb out by himself, as it would have been impossible to pull him out. Of small concern was that he was a painter, and a 5 gallon can of red paint was thrown all over the freeway, the truck, and as I later noticed, now all over my clothes after leaning on the back of the truck to help him. Later, when they saw all of the bright red 'blood' on my shirt and pants everyone asked how I was. "Naw, its only paint" I said! I cleaned the slow lane of a lot of debris, and as two cop cars and a fire truck arrived I headed out, my job done. Glad no one was seriously hurt. Weird, two days in a row with having the chance to possibly save someone's life, what are the odds of that?
