• Camille Coelho, 54, of Brookline, Massachusetts, an ICU nurse at South Shore Hospital, set out at low tide for a stroll with her son's dog, Lucy, along Constitution Beach on April 8 to relax and look for sea glass, but found herself stuck in mud that reached past her knees instead.
"It's a great metaphor for the year," she told the Boston Herald.
"I can't believe it. ... This past year has been awful."
Passersby rushed to help, but soon called firefighters, who arrived to pull her out. [Boston Herald, 4/9/2021]
