    hm.. The only things really going on here is the fact that july 4th is coming up quite soon and our burn ban is in effect but they are still allowing fire works.. So we will all be in a very large ditch type golf course with around 10000 people [all trasfered down there by bus] [so basically no way for them to get out incase of a fire.] shooting of fire works from dry grass through the dry trees! We'll definately see flames. Oh and of course the totally awesome x park that allows teens to go about 20 ft in the air and fall and get serisouly hurt. Gotta love texas!

    No idea wasn't at the station today. It's always quiet at my station so it's nothing unusual. Had my first accident on a interstate yesterday at a city company. 2 patient refusals and on my way I went. Stay safe!

  • Yee

    Yeah I noticed the cars were getting pretty close to the action. When we left the guy riding seat actually had to get out and stop traffic for us to get out. People are crazy these days.
