Always Striving for something........
Perhaps there should be a chapter in fishing books on how to rescue yourself from drowning...?
Or a warm winter Jacket that is buoyant... in case one were to slip in the mud on a slope and fall into deep water or out of a boat in winter..........
instead of being submerged beneath icy fast flowing water with just ones hands up above now and then reaching up ward for help... hoping someone will give them a an extended shovel to grab a hold of and pull them selves up and out............ unless not seen.
To enjoy all the mulberry's and blue berry's that would be coming in abundance the following spring .
Oh but it is not the subject is it? I have strayed............. Sorry.......
A verse an article a read........... then the lesson remembered.....
Good, bad, sad, Happy?
The dreams of Christmas morning......
Optics and Memory..............
So which is it...?
That represents the Truth?
The First and Foremost?

THE Mountain Rescue
The Warning came across the radio... beware... of the down slope....... and the density of the air...and the power lines that went perpendicular .....
Realization was...... WOW! braking was indeed shit... and it was taking a really long time to slow down... he stomped on the left brake and managed to bring the whole affair around just prior to the end of the asphalt and nothing was damaged.... ' Well' he thought.... that one was not taught in the text books he barely had time to think even.........
Now he could laugh........ it was over......
So there he was, He had made it up into the mountains..... now he decided to go for a walk.... up the Canyon... everything was a red color and fairly soft.... the soil... and rocks...... could break loose and tumble
Up the crevice he went ... further , further, further... Steeper.... he started to feel frightened .... his little foot holds and hand holds became so important....... my if he slipped .... it was such a long ways down.... maybe around the next bend the way would become easy and clear....
Things had gotten out of hand.... His hands...
He had parked originally out of the way... down at the far end.... he did not want to be bothered or socialize particularly.......... he was annoyed in a general sense... nothing personal ...
Just liked it that way.. or thought he did....
and now, Oh! he made it way up high and there he was trapped... funny there was a window just across the chasm.. and a girl cutting hair.... 'Can you call for help? ' he asked of her... yes in a matter of fact way... she said .... ' you are not the first I have had to do so for ' he then asked of her.. do you have a cord I might hold on to in the mean time?'
She handed him a lengthy white electric cord like one attached to an ordinary table lamp.... frayed just a bit towards the one end... he had his back to the cliff wall and now had the feeble electric cord to hold on to or put in his mouth and clamp down on with his teeth ... or whatever he wanted.... and he wondered if the far end was attached to anything....? Please..........
He asked the hair dresser girl..... she told him... yes it was tied not to worry .... and the 'Mountain Rescue Crew' were on the way...... he slipped just a little about the same time... and found some roots to put his feet up against and that felt a touch better.... slam up against the vertical wall... Keep your head back Goofy........ unless you want to tumble and fall.....
Waiting was painstaking... but he kept telling himself help was now on the way.... to safety... being saved... from his poor decision........
At long last the professionals showed.... there was nothing in their demeanor other then... ' Caution' no blaming no I told you so or Look another idiot.... about what they were doing... they lowered a device... some basket with a connection... and captured him...
He felt such overwhelming relief.... oh and how he wished and wanted to thank them in the most hearty way he knew how to compensate... his heart was overflowing with joy towards his own rescue... and the Rescuers .......
and he knew they were the responsible ones.... in their flight suites and screaming turbine engines.... and swinging baskets... nights in shining armor........
Now it was his job to navigate out of that mess again... but he better call his old girlfriend first... he had this great need that she might be worried.... and how unfair to her...........
Once he explained he was sure she would understand how things were out of his hands for while...
He had seen a landslide earlier off in the distance you know? .. it looked deadly.... but it was far away over there...across the Canyon.... on the other side........
He found himself chiseling a stop off one of the massive hangar doors that was up there in that high country.... he did not like it plain and simple..... so he managed to get a hammer and cold chisel and hack a section off, and throw it into the dumpster.... with out being seen... then climbed back in his aluminum bird.... and he knew what he had to do next.... after all of that Trauma....
Carry on.......
So much for treachery.... he thought as he applied the throttle and began the roll... and the never to be forgotten.. lesson
So he hoped.......
