2 Rescue Stories

I received this email. I read it with great interest. Here it is

If you read the front page story of the SF Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the FarraloneIslands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her...They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed gently around-she thanked them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same. May you, and all those you love, be so blessed and fortunate .? to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you. And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.
I pass this on to you, my friend, in the same spirit.

wow neat story!!! It reminds me of a similar rescue story, although not as grand!

I was cleaning my pool and had removed and replaced the filter cartridge. When I reassempled the pump, I noticed a bug in the see through enclosure. He looked at me and seemed quite panicked. I said...sorry bug. Well the water started to pour in and he became more frantic and panicked. I couldnt stand it! I aborted the mission. I took the pump apart and rescued that stupid little bug. I cant beleive it. So there you have it....2 rescue stories..... I like the whale story better!
