Sitting here... watching the Lakers and Heat battle on the hardwood... lights flicker... loud crash (explosive-like) casues the house to rattle. Hmmm... Last time that happened two years ago there was a vehicle rollover right outside my house. Put on my jacket and went outside to check it out. SUV into a powe pole at such a high rate of speed that the pole he collided into was splintered into too many pieces to count. Power lines all over the road on a really bad section of road with a bad blind uncontrolled intersection where people go way to fast (duh). No injures, but plenty of ETOH. Off duty Highway Patroller on scene. We shut down the road with our own vehicles and isolated the section of road the lines were acrosss until the FF's I called for arrived 10 minutes latter... Of course, the 18 y/o FFs were in such a rush they completely ignored the Highway Patroller and myself, and almost ran right into the lines. "Wanna stop and think about scene safety? Whatever... See Ya!" Back, sitting here, watching the Lakers and Heat battle on the hardwood.

Right? We can't be in the same room for longer then a few hours. And she wants me to pack my kids across the country and visit her for three weeks? I think I'd rather stare the devil down then spend that much time at grannys. I shudder to think..

I have noticed all really bad nursing homes have "Care" in their name, somewhere.

Bummer...

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Motherlode beginning today at 3 PM and continuing until midnight on Monday.

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow is currently in effect until 3 PM today. Two to five inches of snow is possible by the end of the day around 2200 feet.

Snow levels could fall low enough to dust all of Tuolumne and Calaveras counties on Monday.

The Motherlode's foothills on Monday could see six to twelve inches of total snow accumulation below 3000 feet. Two to three feet of snow is possible above 3000 feet.

Winds could gust from forty to fifty-five mph over the higher crests as well.

Weather's not bad here. And of course I have so much work that I can't go enjoy any of it.

Yeah, I saw a crew awhile ago ask the same thing when the power company representative flipped out at them. A little scary.

And I think zmedic was being sarcastic all along, btw...

I can't watch it during the daytime. My living room gets tons of light even with the blinds drawn. Not a big deal for me but the kids are having a tizzy. "MOM WE CAN'T SEE THE TV!!". And Im not too thrilled with the picture quality. I keep playing with the settings trying to fix it but no cookie. I think I'm going to take it back. :glare:

Congrats!! Our instructor made our tests super difficult with his oh so lovely trick questions. I remember how relieved I was when I found out I passed the final written. Have fun on your final skills! Then you only have state and/or/maybe nationals after that. :wacko:
