I get that. That story just made me think of another rescue attempt.

30 years later the type of men who made that rescue possible were labeled as deplorable by a leading candidate for president.


The men who did that were Boomers, the same men you soy boys cry and whine about today.

Also saw a movie about it.


Made for TV Movie is on YouTube:


I miss movies like this that were inspired by a true story.


Now all we get are Dateline shows of crazy exes that kill their spouses.

I’m about the furthest thing from soy, though I do enjoy edamame as an app once in a while. I don’t complain about boomers because I’m damn near one myself.

There is a young woman at work named Jessica. I often refer to her as Baby Jessica.

I noted last year that it was the anniversary of Baby Jessica's rescue. A younger coworker said, "Is that why you call her that?"

The paramedic that rescued her suffered from ptsd after this and committed suicide.


Very sad.
