the 100% directionless thread

Can't wait for CWS to be done. I have had to abandon my normal route to school. And the traffic, grrrrrrr!:glare:

This is what TxDOT classifies as "minor"?

FD is stating 2 hour cooldown on the vehicles before the Crash Investigation Unit can even start.

I'm assuming the fatal was in that pickup there?
 
That's what they're saying, though they havent been able to really see inside the truck to know if there's any more.


The driver of the work truck and the UPS truck that sandwiched the pickup got off with very minor injuries, both refusing transport.




Though clearly the driver of the work truck has some explaining to do....

Still somehow managed to spend half an off day at the office doing crap. Really need the trip this weekend to relax and wind down.

Got new brakes on the Land Cruiser, oil changed and ready to go...Is it strange that having my hands covered in still warm wheel bearing grease was satisfying?

Transport Jockey--take the car. Its freaking hot.

Nope, not a bad thing at all :) I love getting my hands dirty working on vehicles.
And I keep thinking the car might be good... but I fall back on how cheap the bike would be to ride out...
 
So I'm on my way to the dog park and I look over at a light and there's a guy flat on his back passed out at the bus stop across from my condos. I'm thinking probably drunk (exhibit A would be the 40 ounce bottle of beer he's still clutching) but I figure I'll check it out. I pull into the parking lot grab a pair of gloves from the console and wander over. 4 people are all standing over this guy while he lays there snoring and one of them chimes with with "I'm a doctor" not to be outdone one of the others also chimes in at this point with "My wife and I are also doctors". So it's me in my blue gloves 3 MD's (they really were doctors amazingly enough, only in Houston Medcenter would 3 doctors show up to help a drunk) and a curious bystander all standing there waiting for someone to make a move. So the littlest doctor starts yelling at the guy "Sir are you alright" at which point he grunts opens his eyes and blinks at us all like a hoot owl. One of the other doctors then looks me right in the face and asks "do you have one of those little tenty things? You know the little triangle things that you blow into for CPR I think we may need to do CPR". I'm like WTF and to be fair the other two doctors also look at the gal like she's growing a banana out of her ear. I talk to the guy briefly figure out he's probably just drunk but AOx3 and also very likely he's an illegal. Someone suggests we call 911 I say if we call 911 they will come and arrest the guy so screw it let the guy get on his bus go home and sleep it off. I get in my car and drive off as the guy is ambling off down the street. Just as I come back to the light 2 cop cars come sailing in bracket the guy jump out cuff him and basically carry on like he's the collar of the century.

Gotta love do-gooders. I would've let dude sleep it off and stumble off. Why did the cops need to be called?

I'm sure someone passing by called 911 but I have no idea why someone would have called PD.
 
You mean aside from someone laid passed-out on the side of the road and/or being drunk in public?
 
Yeah besides the class C misdemeanor that usually gets a ticket and a stern scolding I mean.
 
Finished a wonderful chapter on cell communications. About to start reading about cell division.
 
Looks like my move to Texas is coming sooner than I thought. I really wish the state would hurry up with my background check.

My background check took all of a week last year this time... Are they really that much slower this year?
