I posted this there too. I felt a lot of dissonance to see a story that (I thought) would fit in both subs.

He's...uh...trying, I suppose.

Right. I'm saying that IF she wanted a pic for some reason then snapping the pic and getting her out of the water would've almost certainly taken less time than trying to debate or negotiate with her.

He might've had a good reason for that, or thought he did. Or maybe she wanted it for some reason?

I wouldn't have wanted to take a picture like that, but if it was the quickest way to get her out of the water then I would've. I wasn't there so can't say, only that it seems like the help he provided seems significant to me.

That's not what happened though.

> Lauder, who said he has rescue diver training, dove out the window. He swam, walked, waded and kicked through water for about 45 minutes to get to her house. He said a van and a couple cars floated past him as he steered clear of sparking electric poles.

> He put her on a table and bundled her in dry sheets from a high shelf. He worried about the sores around her body — open wounds that were dangerously susceptible to infection in the bacteria-ridden floodwater.

> They waited three hours for the water to subside, so he could push her through the streets in her wheelchair. When the water was a couple feet high, he called for his 20-year-old son to join them and help push grandma to safety.

With 3 hours of having nothing to do but wait for the water to subside then he took some pics to update his family.

> LAS VEGAS (KABC) -- They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas - unless it happens in the In-N-Out drive-thru.

> A man decided to ditch his car Tuesday night and take his camel to the drive-thru instead.

> The handler said the camel is a rescue from Colorado that now lives in a sanctuary in the Las Vegas area and loves to eat French fries.

> As you can imagine, the camel drew a large crowd, with many stopping by to take photos.
