"Michael Ciron just wanted his morning paper. Instead, when he exited the house, the 80-year-old Long Island man soon found himself in an eight-foot sinkhole on his front lawn."
When you are 80-freaking-years-old just getting out of bed in the morning is a challenge, if you are able to accomplish this task without twisting your back or soiling your drawers you count yourself lucky.
An elderly person treasures routine above everything else, he doesn't want any surprises. The last thing a senior citizen wants is to walk outside his front door to pick up his newspaper, and fall into a sinkhole.
Cirion screamed for help and his daughter called the police, thankfully the gentleman wasn't injured. I don't mean to poke fun at Cirion for screaming, if I fell into a sinkhole I would cry like a schoolgirl who is being chased by Dr. Phil on crack.
Kudos to the firefighters who rescued this delightful gentleman. Let's hope that Cirion will have no more unpleasant surprises.
