Didn't come to swim myself (just for
a walk on the pier), but I'm glad to see that
the lifeguard has a bright yellow
surfboard in case he has to rescue someone.
No MP3 player though.
Believe it or not, last year a lifeguard
at one of the Brooklyn beaches was
caught all plugged in while he was on duty—
one day after someone drowned in a riptide!
[You can see more Mellow Yellow here.]
I just heard a man was run over while sunbathing on Long Beach by a cop patrolling the beach in his four wheel drive vehicle.
ReplyDeleteHow crazy is that?
The man survived with a broken back.
Banana-yellow surfboard! (Gee, Lily, that's awful news...)
ReplyDeleteHere the other day a tram hit a man who was 'plugged in' while crossing the tram tracks...I can't imagine walking around with music in my ears, oblivious to city sounds.
Oh, dear! I couldn't wander around 'plugged in' ~ even if I'm listening while cleaning here at home, I can only put one earplug in! I'm glad your mellow yellow lifeguard is keeping his ears open, Alexa.
ReplyDeletePlugged in is not something a lifeguard should be doing. I like the photo.
ReplyDeleteI want to plunge in there. ^_^

Life guards should be so rsponsible, people's life depend on it.
