 Sunday night....I remember when I was working downtown how I dreaded Sunday night.  actually dreaded most Sunday nights since 1980 when I started working.  and that is half self-induced mindset and half reality.  Irregardless, it is much, much, much, much, much nicer to not have to work on Monday.  and so, I shall not work tomorrow. 

There is a guy I see at the health club all the time.  Over the years, I have had a nodding relationship, then chatted a few times.  I know he is a paramedic, and recently he told me he was now with Highland Park.  I saw him on July 3 and asked if he was working the next day to which he said yes.  I said he'd have to deal with the idiots that blow their hands off with fireworks.....

On July 5 I saw him and asked if he was at the shooting at the parade.  He was, and said his pregnant wife was in the parade.  The whole incident took on a different feel once he shared his story....he took a shooting victim to the hospital, etc....terrible. 

so, that is real life shit.  

watching a Breaking Bad marathon.  Even though I have seen every episode 3 times.   Better Call Saul is much better.  But, Breaking Bad is 10 years old.  Time does fly. 

2 weeks from now I should be 1000 miles north of here fishing.  either that, or dead in a plane crash in the wilderness.  (author's note....I make that bad joke every year, so I am considering it good luck).
