Welcome to #Checkin for Monday, Aug 29, 2022!

Hello, hello. How are you today? Today's Heroes Day. Who's someone who comes to mind when you think of a "hero"? What did he or she do to earn that respect in your eyes? Please don't hesitate to comment about heroes (not just one) or if you can't think of any right now what else is in your mind? One of the enjoyable aspects of #Checkin posts is that many discussions can take place on a single day's thread. 😂

As for heroes, for me, 6 days ago at the beach a short walk from here, 19-year-old off-duty lifeguard Emma Baecker saved a man's life. He was swimming after the scheduled hours lifeguards are on duty and was observed behaving awkwardly in the water. Several people assisted but the teenage life guard, who was teaching paddle board lessons nearby, took charge and saved the man's life. It so happened, that a friend and I happened to be out for an evening stroll right then and saw the young man being rushed to a waiting ambulance.
