Just got an email that broke my heart into tiny pieces and confirmed I will not be moving to San Fran as planned next year. This sucks. :( I feel really betrayed and gullible right now. I just want to curl up in a ball and cry.

I wasn't in any risk though.
It was an eplayan in the news awhile back for kicking out the windshield in a burning semi and pulling someone out.
Now that's impressive!

I can't remember the name, but they posted about it once.

Thanks, gyre...that was me, as if you didn't know already. It happened on my way back from the playa in '08. The whole episode changed my life forever, because I found out that there is a time and place in the world to make your actions count towards standing up and being part of a community. There were no fire vehicles there for another 10 minutes, since it happened on a rural interstate. It took the highway patrol 45 minutes to get there. Kicking the windshield out was easy since it was already toast from the accident - safety glass 'crazes' and forms a spiderweb of fragmentsheld together sometimes by plastic inserted between two layers of glass. True, I did step into a dangerous situation. But I planned for success...my buddy 'ironic' stood with me and held my fire extinguisher nozzle pointed at me and ready to discharge in case it was needed. I got him out, and the cab of the truck went up in flames three minutes later. The fire department got there shortly after that.

What do we do when there's no help for someone who needs it, and government seems unable (or is due to some time or legislative constraint) is unable to provide it? The answer for me was to step in where I could do the most good. I got the idea from Burners Without Borders. They did it after hurricane Katrina.

Back to you.....I'm PROUD of you. You stepped up to the plate and did the right thing.

:oops:
Sorry, I really have no recall for names. :oops:
I just remembered you were probably good for something, apparently putting me out if I catch on fire.
I saw those news pictures and that was fucking impressive!
At the time I thought, that looks like something someone I know would do.

I was just lucky enough to know not to hesitate.
A lot of people had passed by, and figured somebody else was taking care of it.
i really couldn't believe no one else had done anything already.
She could have saved herself if she'd thought about it, but people don't.
And I knew that.

i feel lucky to have been there.

And I got the chance to do something I didn't know I wanted to do:
When they asked me if I wanted police, fire or ambulance?
I got to say, "Maybe you'll want to roll everything?"

Then I went to see if anyone was still in the car.
I could not believe there still was!

i don't believe anyone told you that.
You clearly have your own agenda.
Got any logic rolling around in there?
Obviously not.

If I was making up stories, why would I waste them on you, and why would I make it so boring?
In a city with rampant crime and no police reports, why would I even use anything that stands out, with endless wild events going on?

We had a train suicide today, made the noon news, didn't even get a mention in the evening.
That's what this city is like.
We're the one that made natl news recently with the cop that drove up the pole, lights still going. lol

On an actual interesting note, the bay folks I know here got whacked by a trolley there once.
He says thy are much more solid than they appear.
Took one end off a cadillac.
He said he was in shock for quite awhile.

My sweet doggie (Shaffordshire Terrier) has partially torn her ACL. Vet says surgery is inevitable... Fuck - it'll cost $1600-2200! Who has that kind of money just laying around?!? Not me! But, my pup is SO SO pitiful.... Fuck fuck fuck. She's on strict rest and assisted movement right now and hopefully she'll improve but I'm not optimistic. Fuck.

fuckin sorry PFF. can you wrap with an ace bandage? and, if Glucosamine/Chondroitin is ok for dogs, you might try that. helps a lot with joint issues.


far as "role playing train games" goes......if, you are there first, pushing someones car off the tracks, would you not be first in line? If so, would you not have to look way back, to see numbers, as each car in turn impacts/couples?
But* at least they'd all be stopped when you did turn far enough.

"You see, I want a lot. Maybe I want it all: the darkness of each endless fall, the shimmering light of each ascent. So many are alive who don’t seem to care. Casual, easy, they move in the world as though untouched."
~Rainer Maria Rilke, The Book of Hours
I don't know how many times I have felt frustrated with my self for either pulling short and reining myself and my desires in, or for throwing all caution aside as I rush into my bliss. How many time I've felt contemptuous towards those who feel so little passion; yet, secretly envied there ability to be satisfied with their share. "To whom much is given much is required, and to whom much has been entrusted more will be expected." I truly believe I am responsible to use the skills I was "Given" Even though they are the result of emotional duress thrust upon child me. And I don't see the fairness in having to use those very sensitivities that pain me so much to help someone who feels entitled. I wish I was strong, not tough. Strong sympathetic people can do the work of angels, Tough empaths endure the work of demons.
"Maybe you don’t know what the nights are like for people who can’t sleep. They all feel guilty- the old man, the young woman, the child. They’re driven through darkness as though condemned, their pale hands writhing; they’re twisted like a pack of frenzied hounds.
What’s past lies still ahead, and the future is finished."
Rainer Maria Rilke - daughter of bone and smoke
Feeling a bit frazelled and worn on the edges, bright Spring day birds chirping, dog's wagging the tail. If I am feeling anything it's Numb. Fuck I got Shit to Do, why does this have to happen now. and I need to go Burn Something.
