Medic

The first half started 5 February 2011 and finished yesterday, 18 July 2011, with notice that I'm now in the National Registry of EMTs at the I99 level: Medic.

The next half starts on 2 August 2011 and runs for another six months. Or, if I flunk out, it could end a lot earlier.

Medic. 

It feel scary but good.

I was just reminded...

Sobriety rocks. Since 1986.

In Appalachia (1)

Word is out I have a trade, steady income, health insurance, no debt, clean record, regular hours, go to church, good with kids, know how to sweat, and don't drink, smoke, gamble, cook shine, or grow wacky weed. 

The women are talking: I'm the devil they don't know.

and the locals have no sense of humor where bears are concerned. It's like living with thousand pound dumpster-diving gangbangers on PCP, each armed with a few dozen switchblades.

Good luck on outrunning them. Try climbing a tree...

and that is much too large a venue in which to comment directly
