17 March 2008




So, yes you guessed it, I am posting a St. Patty's Day Post. So, what else is new for this week? The week was usual at work, except for a few good arrests I made. Life on the PIKE is like a rollercoaster...lots of boredom and then some short-lived excitement. Recently, we got a call about a male suffering from a possible seizure headed southbound. I was driving northboud, and for those that are not familiar, the PIKE is divided by a 4 ft. high concrete median barrier that keeps TTs (Tractor Trailers) and people from killing each other when they drive like morons. Upon my arrival northbound, I observed the driver passed out behind the wheel in the left lane of travel. I quickly hurdled the barrier, dragged him out of the car, and moved his vehicle into the shoulder. It turns out he was almost 3 times the legal limit, and had decided to park in the left lane of the PIKE to take a nap....smart.


The weekend turned out to be pretty chill. After working Friday night, I got to see the little sisters, and have a few pints for the Irish in our family...I think I drank for the three of us, haha. It was back to work Sunday, and tonight for a DWI Supp. It may seem like a shot at my mom (inside joke), but I do like the longer daylit days, and the warmer weather. We were very lucky thus far with snow, and the cold weather.


Before I go, one last funny story. The other day during a bad wind storm (Yes, I am sure the wind storms over there are much worse big brother), we lost a piece of siding to my house. It is small enough for me to fix, but my roof is very pitched. After chicken-ing out a bunch of times, I finally decided I was simply being a 'scaredy cat' (spelling?) and climbed up and onto the roof. I literally got about 5 feet up before I started sliding cliffhanger style towards the ladder. I had to grasp onto the end shingles to stop my descent. Without saying, that was my last attempt at that part of my roof. I am going to climb up and around next time, haha. Glad to be alive...Laters!


As always, be safe bro, and let me know your thoughts on your package when it arrives soon!! Enjoy the two recent pup pics...15ish weeks old, about 36 lbs, and 110% "a terror".

One big dog! But Dante is still the biggest in our family (at least for now). You are right about the snow, my friend, you HAVE been lucky!

As for Pat seeing your blogs, that all depends on whether or not his internet speeds up. I think he hasn't seen his blog since he's been over there. I have been posting his blogs for him because of lousy service. Oh, and he tried to call you this morning, but thought that your new cell was glitchy and couldn't get a hold of you.

Hope to see you, Tina, and the mut soon, Bro!

It's a mini-you! Put a disc on his back and you have a mobile coffee table.
