Didn’t see that, but yes. The lumber shortage is real though. I’m driving across the state surrounded by forests to pick up wood.

Yep. Been trying to get supplies for a raised strawberry bed. The 6 plants we started with this spring are 14 plants already.
 
Did the big chop

I have been working a lot. I go to drive home and I try and shift from the steering column as I hit the antantitheft.

I was backing in a parking lot with poor LOS in my POV wondering what was taking my partner so long to back me.

I see people getting testy in their driving and I move my hand to the panel to hit the airhorn. But I'm in my POV.

It's all becoming so automatic.

Almost?

More than once late at night I’ve slowed down for the red, cleared the intersection, and kept driving. And in that moment as I’m about halfway through the intersection I realize that I’m in my POV, and pray that there isn’t a cop around.

That's exactly what I do. I get to a point where colors mean nothing. I DO CLEAR THE INTERSECTION. But when it's 0230 and there's no car for miles there's something that just isn't triggered to stop sometimes and I don't know why.

If there's traffic, I stop like normal. But like 1/100 times of there's no cars at all, I just clear it and go.

No idea why. I've never had any close calls or anything. Never thought I was clear but it wasn't. It's just weirdly automatic at some point.

I've caught myself starting to a number of times, but I've yet to actually fully commit past a point of no return. Now I walk to work, so it is a non-issue the majority of the time.
 
I just realized I'm going from 10s that are more like 12s to 24s and I dunno how that's gonna go. 😅😬

I hear a raise might be in order for the California Air Methods folks?

Yes an no.

We are getting our merit raises next month.

The company finally decided to abide by CA law on pay practices since there are several huge lawsuits against Air Methods from CA Clinicians about pay. It sounds like they have formed a settlement on the first lawsuit. Due to the change of pay practices all clinicians in CA are looking at about a 20% “raise” that takes effect on our next paycheck in addition to the CA law regarding meal and rest breaks as we don’t fall under the prop 11 thing that was passed a year or so ago.
 
Treason is the reason for the season. Happy 244th Independence Day. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Are you gonna arrest me cause I've accidentally gone through a red light like 3 times? In a completely empty intersection.

Like everyone else here does apparently?

I’m confused. If I remember correctly not to long ago you were saying that you have never ran “hot” with lights and sirens before and that you were also on a transfer only truck. On transfers only the amount of times you run hot is very very limited
