Interesting morning, less than 2 miles from the house, and I come up on an MVA rollover that just happened. First time in a long time I've been first on the scene. LOL Fortunately the driver was wearing his seat belt, and climbing out as I arrived. Injuries were minor, a quick assessment, put lifesaver on standby (SOP for rollovers), packed a couple of lacerations, and sat down with the patient to wait for everyone else.

Do they also have a lot of fake injuries that you find entertaining?

Perhaps it makes me bigoted or such but no soccer. Close enough to 5 hours to make 18.04 for the week so far. As most days when I clock out I'm down at the deli enjoying chicken tenders and home fries.

Um...why would it make you bigoted? I don't understand how you're making the connection between bigotry and not liking soccer.

Only that I am American first and foremost.
Maybe not bigot but maybe anti other countries.

What?

Americans do play soccer... the USA team wasn't good enough to make it to the World Cup this year.

I'm still confused at how you're making the connection to being an American and soccer (and adding bigotry in the mix somehow)?

And the US women's team has been the most successful national team in the women's World Cup. The women's tournament started in 1991, so there have been 9 tournaments. The US women have won it three times, more than anyone else.

Apparently it is, for Canadians. We would rather stick to safer sports like hockey and football.

Nope when someone goes down you can pretty much bet it's real.

Nasty little storm just came through packing straight line winds of over 70 mph. Power's out, limbs everywhere. Just walked around the corner of the drive, we have a large tree that went across the drive and snapped the service line from the road. I can't clean it up until the power company does their thing because of the danger of it reenergizing. Apparently a lot of damage in the county so may be a long night in the dark.

It's still raining off and on and the temps are down but the humidity is way up. With everything blocking drive can't even leave to go get something to eat.
