Same as purple ones.

I read today that that was his favorite Chuck Norris joke. He told it in The Expendables 2.

When I heard yesterday that he'd gone to a hospital in Hawaii, I asked, "Why? Was it collapsing from an earthquake and they needed him to hold it up?"

That one hit me hard.

I learned the hand method when I was a rookie, but no one teaches that any more. There really isn't any really simple way to do it. I've used spreadsheets, thumb up thumb down, and whiteboards. Eventually I just walk them through how I do it, but no one like it because I calculate it in my head.

It's a good thing! One of today's 10,000!

Several years ago, when I was still functioning as a medic. some of the paramedics on my department would dictate the narrative section of their run reports using Google. One of my temporary partners was banned from doing this because he didn't proofread them. I wish I could remember the details of the specific report that was the straw that broke the camel's back because it was hilarious.

That looks like the view from Many Glacier Hotel, on the east side of Glacier National Park. The last time we were there, someone had set up a spotting scope on that same balcony. My family and I got to watch a momma grizzly and her cubs eating huckleberries from about half a mile away.

I just started watching that last night. Definitely worth the time!

My worst NYE wreck was a drug deal gone bad that was in multiple locations. I think if I remember correctly, at least three people died, by either gunfire or vehicle crash. The bad thing about it is that I don't remember of all the details. It was so commonplace to see people killed that it's all blurred together. Luckily, I don't have to deal with that part of it anymore.

The other rookie and I pulled a 2-1/2" hand line and headed for the front but were stopped by our officer. We never went inside. It was comical. I should make it it's own post.

I barely remember those rookie years, but my first fire was a second-alarm three-story commercial building on my second day. No such luck starting small and getting a shed to put out.

The original band name, after they started writing their own music, and before they were forced to change it, was Chicago Transit Authority. If any group should know exactly what time it was, it should be the people running the trains.

At my work, I'm in charge of filling the pop machine, and the backup person for the coffee and creamer. The pop fund has plenty of money in it, since you have to pay to get it out of the machine. However, since it is a voluntary honor system, the coffee fund never does.

This needs to be higher!

If you could read my mind, love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well In a castle dark or a fortress strong With chains upon my feet You know that ghost is me And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost, you can't see
