"Idiots with alcohol keep us in business. That telephone pole is not far from the intersection so they were either going really fast or slow to realize that they were going up not forward."

Interesting facts about you: I am currently doing research with the LA Tech University on first responder stress and I am going to publish a book of Responder Poetry that many first responders write to counter the stress. Let me know if you have some poetry that you would like considered.

I'm not sure how you got my info but I'm glad to know you through your page. Good luck with the book. Sounds like an interesting concept. Stay safe.

Thanks for adding an Aussie to your friends. The poetry is a wonderful idea and I really look forward to the book. I've mentioned this to a couple of my work collegues over here. Hopefully I maybe able to send something to you. It is very interesting at looking at how EMS personnel actually deal with the stress of our jobs and lifestyles.

Thanks for adding me as a friend. My husband and I have only been First Responders for just under a year. We run volunteer fire and rescue in our small, rural community here in Ohio. In our "spare" time, I am a dental hygienist and he is a sales manager for a beauty supply company. We also trail ride on our gaited horses.

BLS transports...

At 7:43pm on December 17, 2008, Gail Cochran said…: Hi James...no poetry here...I think my talents must lie elsewhere...I'd enjoy reading some, though...I'm from a rural/summer vacation area...population rises from 600 in winter to 15000 in summer...
