Yours truly gets to play on a golf cart path bridge which saw about 2 inches of water on its deck, during some flooding a short time ago. I needed something/someone to show the size of the bridge and realized my wife would resist walking in the water to be my model(size reference object). So instead of self-inflicted grief by explaining, suggesting, asking, requesting, and finally just begging my wife(why I needed it done), I decided to do it myself. I gave her my camera and rolled up my pant legs.
The short story above is similar to a song by Kenny Rogers called The Gambler. According to wikipedia.com, the song is often characterized as a metaphor for life in that you need to know when to stand your ground (when to hold ‘em) and when to retreat (when to fold ‘em).
