Well, When We're Running Hot…

… the drivers in front of us usually look something like this.

Remember, EMS chirrens: Everyone driving faster than you is a maniac, and everyone driving slower than you is an idiot.

    One time headed north on US101 somewhere south of Gilroy (the Garlic Capitol) we saw a stater coming from behind, lights, siren, horn and for all we could tell, rude hand gestures. Two lanes northbound, pretty much non-existent shoulders, heavy traffic and everyone moved over except this booger-eating moron in a Volvo. I swear, the trooper was stuck behind this fool for at least two miles at 60 mph with no way around – we in the right lane just couldn't get out of the way fast enough. And we all saw when he FINALLY noticed the hub-bub; yep, he threw out the anchor and came to a screeching stop in the fast lane. I guess the trooper was expecting this because he didn't cream the Volvo, but got around and continued on up the road.This was when cell phones were briefcase size, so that wasn't to blame, just your basic idiot with a license.I try to keep a weather eye out for flashing lights and pull over long before it is needed, just so you guys can get where you need to be.

    I got used to seeing three bright red lights and a puff of tire smoke whenever I drove down the highway.Hint to the physics tyros: your 4,000lb automobile both handles and stops better than my 50,000lb fire engine. Demonstrating that directly in front of me is not a good way to stay live.

    Am I the only one who usually hears the siren before seeing lights? I hear them and start looking a) for the source and b) for the best place to get the hell out of the way.

    No Sabra, you're not the only one. But unfortunately there seems to be some sort of metaphysical limit to how many of us are allowed to occupy the same general space/time.

    Breast pain is a common problem among women, can still be thrown in your bed or reading the newspaper and suddenly felt a terrible pain in the breasts as if it was a blow that leaves you breathless. The bust is harmful for several reasons, perhaps most frequent menstruation. In findrxonline suggest that women should not be concerned by these problems because they can start a week before the period and extending through the last day, the reason is the increase in estrogen in the body. These hormonal fluctuations cause the breast tissue is filled with fluid and become more responsive, causing two things: hincones in the chest and put heavy stones when you are with the rule.
