My neighbor has a tree that in the early fall, before the leaves drop, casts a shadow on my #solar panels. You can see the little dip about 1700 where it hits. It will get worse through October. But once the leaves drop it goes away. In spring it gets it leaves after it casts.

Frustrating #EMSlife a collision last shift with a 4 yo in the front seat with just the lap belt on. Hit be another car that ran the light. Car seat in the back. Asked the parent why the kid was not in the car seat: “if I knew I was going to be in an accident I would have”.

Lovely morning run. Just you, your breath, your steps, and the podcast your playing. Great way to get ready for bed after a 12 hr shift at work. #runner

On the left is a starter home in 1960. Equivalent to $92k today inflation adjusted. On the right a similar home for less Gen Z refuse to buy because it’s too small for a starter home. With a 10% down payment, it’s $400 a month ($33 in 1960 dollars) #homebuying

Just returned from a call, I don’t thing they teach defensive driving any more. But the offensive driving course seems to be going strong. Yeah the big red truck with flashing lights and siren means pull right. Not pull left and slam on the breaks. #EMSlife

Rural EMS vs Suburban EMS Rural, farmer gets run over by tractor, fractured femur, finished chores, can’t work the clutch, apologizes for calling SU, adult drops object on foot. It hurts with no visual injury can hold weight, insists we carry down stairs and pack a bag for them. #EMSlife

I love #EMSlife You never can predict what you get. A naked lady, attacking a parked car with a watermelon. Overdose victim found in a cemetery. A cat scratch that did not draw blood. Kid having problems breathing. Adult with leg cramps. All in the first 8 hours. 8 more to go.
