Last Weekend 4 Someone

Afternoon & Happy Friday!  Nothing much going on here, just your average Friday.  It’s rather quiet.  I had a small mountain pour in some work this morning but I have knocked all of that out.  We had a medical helicopter land close by, I knew it was coming because of the scanner and if you didn’t know you could sure hear it when it got close.  Not exactly sure what the deal was they said it was a very ill person and there weren’t further details provided.  Air Ambulances don’t typically get false alarms from what I have seen and they don’t call them for no reason at all.  I always feel for the person and their loved ones when I hear a helicopter was called.  I’ve been in that situation and it’s no fun.  As I am typing this I am hearing about a head on collision with heavy front end damage to both vehicle and they have a helicopter on standby as they have to extricate from both vehicles.  Wow!

Saw a hell of a YouTube video last night.  Cops pulled over a guy who wouldn’t stop, they had to cause him to crash.  He had no idea what was going on and they got him cuffed and stuffed (as they would say in the Dukes of Hazzard).  He took advantage of the open partition and wound up stealing a state troopers patrol car.  They setup multiple spike strips, he missed the majority of them but they got more aggressive.  He hit the last set and went out of control, straight into a semi at 110mph.  The front of that car was trash.  The title of the video indicated that he didn’t survive but he was still talking as they pulled him out of the stolen police car.  I think this was in AR or CO.  The most wild thing I have seen in a while.  They were pouring bottled water on the engine area to keep the car from catching fire while the guy was still in there, as if that would help anything. 

I am waiting anxiously for the Amazon driver to show up with all of my stuff.  The UPS person arrived and delivered one of my items.  The rest are stuck on an Amazon truck.  I am partial to UPS they have the highest success rate for both finding my house and being on time.  Amazon isn’t horrible but they do mess up and you don’t really get a delivery window unless you call before 10p a window. 

I was playing around with Rudy this morning.  He was fully of energy.  He clawed my hand and damn it itched like crazy.  I wanted to kill him but it’s not his fault, I am the one who engaged him. I could see he wanted it and I gave in.  Guess what tonight is?  Claw trimming night.  They will both hate it but it’s needed for my own safety as well as theirs. 

I am not sure if I will be posting since I will have time off and I know that 4 days will fly by and be quite a blur to try to recap even if I do nothing.  I was reading yesterday on social media that this weekend will be someone's last weekend with all 5 fingers.  This was speaking to fireworks and how they are illegal here.  Not to mention it is so dry that it would be quite easy to catch your neighbors house on fire.  I pray that there aren’t many fireworks around here and that there aren’t any gun shots but it’s once again time to play America’s favorite game.  Is it Fireworks or Gun Shots!  I hope that all of you stay safe and if your like me watch your fireworks at either an organized professional display or even better with the AC on from your living room via TV.  I will record them on my DVR and save them, then watch it back when it gets colder out.  Just like I have the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade from last year saved and watch it now thinking about when it’s cold.  It’s just something different that I do. 

TV is quite boring since the Writer’s Strike and the fact that it’s summer time.  I do hope that comes to an end soon.  This has cheated me out of so many thing but one that I love the most being John Oliver and Last Week Tonight.  I love that show and they are always up to something.  He’s got a great sense of humor!

Well time to figure out lunch and then relax with the kids.  We have already had our morning nap.  I thought Mora was going to miss it but just as I closed my eyes she jumped into my lap and right on my nuts.  Boy there was nothing silent about the fact she was present.

Have a great weekend and a very safe Independence Day if you are in the US.  Take care, stay cool & hydrated.
