Oh...one more thing...

Forgot to post something funny that happened last shift at work. Got a call for an auto accident on the freeway. Guy and his wife rear-ended by another car at a freeway junction notorious for accidents. Guy is an off-duty cop, and wife is 8 months pregnant. She's not hurt bad, and he's fine too. Guy tells me "Yeah, this yutz plows into us, and he comes up to me after and says 'I'm scared...I don't have insurance and I've been drinking'". Man...how stupid...two things you never want to say to a cop. CHP provided a nice set of bracelets to go along with transportation and accomodations.

Alcohol and stupidity...2 job security items for paramedics.

Finally...an update

Sorry...it's been a while since I updated this. Still a newbie in the blogging world. I finally decided to get back on the weight loss wagon. I was normal sized all through high school and college, but a stint as a manager of a Winchell's Donut House and years of eating fast food in between calls at work helped swell my svelte, so to speak. I got serious about losing weight back in 1995, and in a year was able to lose 105 pounds. I made the fatal mistake by believing I could go back to eating the junk thet got me fat in the first place. Bad move. Weight came back, and then some. Same old story...to oodles of people. I hate to say it's been a New Year's resolution, but since I started right before New Years....well...you do the math. I've been putting miles on the elliptical at home, and watching my food intake not coming from a fast food drive up window. Loss to date: 14 pounds and 1 belt notch. Left to go as a goal weight?: well...let's just say I'm 10% of the way there.

Next goal as a loss number: 20 pounds total. I'll keep ya posted.
