On duty today.....I hope that things are mellow today. I truly don't feel much like working today.
I was driving to an appointment yesterday, going a route that I don't usually travel and came upon a car wreck involving an 18 wheeler and an older model station wagon full of people. Looks like the 18 wheeler lost control on the wet roads and t boned the other vehicle, causing it to roll over several times. Thank God everyone in that vehicle was buckled in or they all probably would have been ejected--especially the 3 little ones in the back seat.
It's strange to be the first one on the scene when I'm off duty. I don't usually stop because by the time I pass the accidents, there is usually law enforcement, EMS, and the FD already there. Thankfully, I didn't have to do anything really, other than help calm down the kids and Mom. Once EMS got there, I gave report to the crews and helped them get everyone loaded up and then I went on my merry way.
It poured here yesterday, we really needed the rain but I hate driving in it. It was so bad at one point that I about needed to pull over because the visibility was so low.
If there is anything that you my readers would like me to blog about, send me a message and let me know!
Have a safe day and be careful.
Please keep "Alex" and his family, especially his uncle in your prayers today.

I found this via a friend who frequents BBC and after reading these two lines I just had to say something.
"Thankfully, I didn't have to do anything really..."
"I don't really feel much like working today..."
I would hate to be the person who burdens you with my car accident when I have three kids and we all need calming down. And if you don't feel like working- you shouldn't! After all, when people need help but you just don't feel like it, why bother? And don't you worry- I'll drive safe because if I get into an accident I can not trust that you will want to save me (even though that is your job)!
