Safety...

Is it necessary to play it safe or does just winging it work out well? On a recent road trip, we stopped at a convenient store to get some coffee and snacks before heading to the beach. While I waited with Penelope in the car, a man walked out of the store with a coffee, turned left, and started up a nearby ladder. And nobody was there holding the ladder for support! This is something Aaron never allows me to do even though I claim to be very safe when climbing, and plus, all I have to do is jump back if it start falling right?

Upon closer inspection, I realized that the ladder was supported by a small rope tied to the building. Must take picture! Now I know what to do to convince Aaron that I can handle roof projects by myself :) 

To make the scene even more interesting, the man was outfitted with a large hat and cloth wrapped all around his face so that only his eyes were showing. When he came out of the store, my first thought was that he had robbed the place (and stole a coffee) and was using the ladder as his quick escape plan. But, after living on the islands for a while, I know that it is not uncommon to see this head gear for those who work in the sun all day, so I knew he was harmless. These little reminders that island living is always interesting.... I love :)
