The Severed Cortex

My good friend John sent me this picture and asked if I 'missed this crap'. The answer is a resounding no. (That's John with his back to the camera.) Think for a second that working on the river is not dangerous? These guys are chipping ice on a 4 foot wide deck. One slip over the side and they will be sucked under the boat and promptly diced by the wheels (propellers for you non river folk) into fish food. There would be no rescue crew throwing a life ring. It would happen in a matter of seconds and the other deckhands would be left standing there in shock.

You'll also notice that it appears the chain handrail has been taken down by large ice chunks and part of it is under the boat. I know John didn't leave the handrail up because he knew the ice would come up on the deck. He's seen this movie before. Had to be those dumbasses on the other watch that left it up.
