Some jobs call for a ladder, others call for a 13 tons of steel, 127 horsepower (net, of course) and a quiet, but powerful hydraulic system.

Witnesses called 911 Thursday afternoon to report a man on a ledge in the 2600 block of SW Spokane Street.

Officers found the man standing on a ledge that they estimated to be six inches wide, occasionally slipping.  Fearing for the man’s safety, Officer Morgan Irwin, whom you may remember from the time he commandeered a jetski,  spotted a nearby backhoe driving down the road.  Officer Irwin ran over to the driver and asked him for help.

The driver was able to position the machinery below the 48-year-old man allowing him to safely jump inside it.

Once on the ground, medics took the man to the hospital for a medical evaluation.

The naysayers are whining again. They say that Seattle is losing its soul. They believe that, as Seattle has grown in population, developed an impressive skyline and become a storied destination, it somehow lost its essence.

Don't believe those ill-tempered trolls.

The Seattle that I know has always been another word for change. The city has a dynamic, not a static, existence. Seattle has two characters: Its physical dimensions and its spiritual essence. While its dimensions have changed radically, the city's character has remained essentially the same.

There is still a Seattle spirit. Civic enthusiasm has been a hallmark ever since Chief Seattle welcomed newcomers, inviting them to settle here. Nevermind that, along with his friend Doc Maynard, the chief was also trying to sell them his brand of smoked salmon. Seattle has always had a strong entrepreneurial streak.
