  As I go back to the car, I am reminded that Dog is GOD spelled backwards. Maybe they are the chosen ones?

• 
  As I walk outside on a crsip fall Lakewood fall day, a RTA full size bus flys by with no one on it.
• 
  As I walk over the the Metro Parks in this walkable community I look down into the  Emerald Canyon at various fishermen, working the beautiful Rocky River for trout or salmon.
• 
  A mallard rises up out of the canyon, feels the cold air and...
• 
  ... and joins up with some friends and turns south.
• 
  I climb in the car and head down the street to breakfast, and the lake. As I stop I see a happy dog going for a ride.
• 
  As I get down to the lake, the breeze is chilly, the clouds look like winter will not be far away. But today is just perfect.
• 
  Even the gulls look like they are getting ready for something.
• 
  I look upand there is my good friend RTA flying by in one of those large empty busses.
• 
  RTA - America's Best Public Transit System! Wow! Must be terrible in those other cities.
• 
  And as the sun sets over the Emerald Canyon, I think of what tomorrow brings.

• 
  ...arriving at the railroad over pass, we see many police and fire vehicles all looking down...
• 
  ...
• 
  ... by this time the story surfacing was a man walking his dog, under the trestle, saw a man walking overhead heading west on the railroad tracks. When he turned away he suddenly heard branches breaking and a loud thud! When he looked the man wasgone!...
• 
  They spot a body and rush down the hill...
• 
  They bring the person down the hill across the reiver and up by the Westlake Hotel/Apartments.
• 
  Lakewood's rescue boat comes ashore down at the boat ramps.
• 
  As they load up Lakewood's boat, I notice what a beautiful day it had become.
• 
  Looking down the river, back to the scene of the accident.
• 
  As I look across the river I think of the huge blocks of ice that will be herein the spring. Notice the man fishing in the right corner?
