Got caught up watching The Patriot. Probably the one movie I shouldn’t start late at night because I can’t stop until I finish it. Absolutely Mel’s best movie. Can’t get more motivational than that...
 
I have to get re-certified every 2 years on proper donning and doffing(the proper term for removal) of a full PPE suit... I have bit my tongue more than once on what I see out there. I think the glove wearing gets me going more than the mask below the nose...
My wife works in health care and she's the same way. Every time we are out, it's either

"Why the fuck are these people wearing gloves?"

Or

"Your mask isn't helping cause you don't even know how to put it on correctly"
 
Yep. Being from eastern WA and having spent a lot of time on the Columbia, they are still there and on the Snake as well. Used to know an old hard hat diver who worked on the dams (like Ice Harbor and McNary)and he told stories about being down working on the upstream dam face and getting bumped/nudged by a submerged, water logged tree and then turning and looking one right in the eye. Said it freaked him out no end. There are a few pics like this in the museum in the Tri-cities of fish like this that had been hauled out by mule teams and laying in a buckboard with still ten or so feet hanging out and dragging on the ground. About 40 years ago I was shad fishing off of Clover Island (in between Richland and Kennewick) and saw one breach which they will do occasionally even though they are bottom feeders, that I swear was about as round as a 55 gallon drum.

Yup, I grew up right on the Clark Fork of the Columbia. We were on a vehicle recovery in a deep channel below a bridge with our with our big rig tow truck. The Sheriff diver came out of the water in a panic. He said he felt a nudge on his back, turned around and there was a submarine with eyes looking at him. I think he breached too.
 
how did we survive. Bare footed standing on a sickle blade licking a sulfur salt block riding in the back of a truck and no one gave it a second thought. Those were the days.

You forgot drinking out of the hose, cooling off after hauling hay bales in a water tank (God, the cows drank there!), eating peaches and apples right off the tree w/o washing, tomatoes off the vine, ....
