After our Wednesday morning outing for the KXL
interview, Carole was pretty wiped out. There was nothing else but to wait and
see what the media would do, so I chose to put in a few hours with one of my
part-time employers, the Portland Streetcar.
In a coincidence much like the one that had put me near the
scene when Carole was hit a week and a half before, I was on duty and riding
across the Tilikum Crossing bridge from the west to the east side shortly after
5:00 p.m., when I looked out at the collision site and noticed someone standing
there in a yellow slicker with a video camera close by. I surmised that one of
the TV stations might be doing a live feed about Carole’s story, so I called
her immediately on my cell phone and told her to switch on the TV.
