Rock-Paper-Scissors

"Carpenter Chuck Friedel (left) helps home owner Paul Kleven (middle left) clear debris along with Kleven's sons Paul II (middle right) and Nick after a septic tanker was removed from the living room of the Wonder Lake residence, Friday, April 17, 2009. The parking brake on the truck gave way while it was being filled up across the street and crashed into the Kleven's living room, not harming anyone."

This was a first.

I had a really busy day driving all around McHenry County for assignments but the 70 degree sunshine was welcomed. Denver is in blizzard mode at the moment. Considering what I've had to endure here the last few months I call that um...karma.

I got sent to the scene above after loosing a game of rock, paper scissors to Travis right at the end of my shift. Naturally, after making the 25+ minute drive in traffic, the tanker is being hauled away by a tow truck as I turn onto the street of the residence. Awesome, not.

I made a few frames to try and set the scene, gathered some necessary information from the homeowner and was on my way in about 15 minutes. I got rewarded as it ran in today's paper on 3A, in color. 3A is never color so I guess today was just my lucky day.
