A few days ago, while driving around a friend who is running for the local NYC Council seat, we passed 2 swans on Cross Bay Boulevard, sitting on the median, in the middle of the Jamaica Bay Bird Sanctuary section of the Gateway National Recreation Area. Perhaps an hour later, over my scanner, I heard an NYPD patrol car crew being directed to assist the swans. What? Did they need someone to assist them in crossing the road?

On a different topic, while driving the candidate around on another night, I got a panicked call from the home care aides taking care of my mother. Seems the doorbell was going off continuously, and nobody was visible on the security camera.

I was a short distance away, and when I responded, kind of kidnapped the candidate. On arrival home, found out the aides had called 9-1-1. I also found the damn doorbell button had simply gotten stuck when the aide who works overnight had arrived.

I stayed on the scene until NYPD arrived. They agreed that it might have appeared suspicious had I called to cancel the 9-1-1 response, so they were glad I remained there till they arrived. They "carded" me, took the report and resumed patrol, as did I with my candidate.

Never rescued a swan. I've transported a dog on a wheel/post cot to a vet...where he poorly cared for it, and it subsequently died. My guess would be from sepsis. I'm like, don't you wanna irrigate that shit before you sew it up? Looked at me, like, how dare a fireman question a vet of 60+ years.

Should have done it myself.

I'm alive! I just watched that movie called "Bringing out the dead" with Nicolas Cage, and I have to say that it was one of the most depressing films I've ever seen.

Yeah ... that movie is pretty depressing...

'OLD' IS WHEN....
Your sweetie says, 'Let's go upstairs
and make love,' and you answer,
'Pick one; I can't do both!'

'OLD' IS WHEN....
Your friends compliment you
on your new alligator shoes
and you're barefoot..

'OLD' IS WHEN....
A sexy babe or hunk catches your fancy
and your pacemaker opens the garage door.

'OLD' IS WHEN...
Going braless
pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.

'OLD' IS WHEN...
You don't care where your spouse goes,
just as long as you don't have to go along.

'OLD' IS WHEN....
You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police

'OLD' IS WHEN...
'Getting a little action'
means you don't need to take any fiber today.

'OLD' IS WHEN...
'Getting lucky' means you find your car
in the parking lot.

'OLD'IS WHEN....
An 'all nighter' means not getting up
to use the bathroom.

AND

'OLD' IS WHEN....
You are not 'SO SURE' these are jokes!!!

Going later this month to "Pulse Check", the annual Convention, Educational Conference, and Trade Show, of the NY State Volunteer Ambulance and Rescue Association.
Surprise! The Crown Plaza in Suffern NY uses a call center in the Philippines!
