I wonder if I can say that I'm very saddened today to hear of the passing (on the job) of the skipper of what we Queenslanders call "the little tug that could". During the terrible floods here at the beginning of this year, this man got in his little tugboat with his offsider and they saved our largest and most important bridge from disaster.

I wonder about the word "hero" and how heroes don't like to be called that usually. This humble man was Peter Fenton.
