Falling off a car

June 30th, 2006

There were a lot of things I had to do after I got off work today. I could work at the jail. I could do some work around the house, like mowing and weedeating, or I could go to the fire station and hang out. I stayed in Pullman until nearly eight o’clock pm getting some bug completed as best I could.

Then I went to get some dinner at Little Caesars. I decided to go to the fire station. I saw some pictures from the burn they did recently. I also talked to Carl about his final days being a full-timer.

I went home around ten o’clock pm and watched some TV. I got into a show when a call came out around one thirty in the morning for someone who fell from a moving car in LaCrosse. I decided that I would go on this one.

I got to the station and drove the ambulance to the scene. While en route LaCrosse EMS called Whitcom to launch the bird. The patient was combative and it was a wise move. We got to LaCrosse and loaded the patient into the ambulance and drove to the football field. They got the lights turned on and the bird landed about fifteen minutes later.’

By the time we got back to Colfax it was well after three in the morning. I got some pop from the gas station and Third Watch was on. It was an episode I had never seen before. I decided to watch it until it was done, which was at five in the morning. That is when I finally got to sleep.
