Laura E. Swan level-classic May 21, 2009

YES! You are right. All of you! He was having WAY too much fun, laying down on the job, but the story is that he was tired of rowing the boat.

Now he looks at peace! :) JUST CHILLIN'.

I'm tickled that you are all having such fun with this one. As I stood there at the rivers edge it was pretty cool shooting him.
