Find A Ladder, or Lend One






This is a bear in trouble. Somehow, the bear got trapped in a Colorado skateboarding park and couldn't get out. After spending the night in the skating bowl, an employee of the Snowmass Colorado Parks and Recreation Department lowered a ladder into the pit which permitted the bear to climb out. You can see the whole sequence here.

Ed, a coach friend of mine shared this image with me. I suggested that the lesson is that people should find their ladders -- the help that they might need -- and save themselves. Ever wise, Ed added "Yes, and throw a ladder to a buddy in need."
