Got Nothing, Want to Blog


Nothing much to say but that has never stopped me.

Last night a  Flight for Life landed on the hospital roof as I was about to leave. Saw it at a different viewpoint than usual, from underneath and five stories up. It was about 0320 and the heliport lights were illuminating the rotor. Awesome sight. I've always been impressed with those Flight for Life pilots.

Some poor soul was shot earlier, around 0200, on a portion of I-25 I often drive as a courier, and at the time I am on that route. No motive given at this time.


My sister, the Insurance Adjuster, has been working her derriere off on the two multi truck wrecks in two days on I-80 in Wyoming. She said the second scene looked like 9/11 Ground Zero. Among the many terrible tragedies was a two woman team. One was killed. The other, asleep in the sleeper portion, was ejected, injured, and everything she had burned up (clothes, drivers license, credit cards). Imagine being on the side of a mountain in freezing fog, with only the (torn) clothes you are wearing while your friend is dead and all your possessions and livelihood is burning. There is more to the story but my sister has conflict of interests issues due to different clients. My sister, by the by, is the most ethical adjuster you will ever meet. That pisses off a lot of people. Shoot, she won't even discuss many things with her “Big Brudder”.


Have the next four days off. May take a day and visit the Pawnee Buttes and Grasslands, a favorite place.

That wreck was something else. Sad. Kudos to your great sister!

Of course we'll want pictures from Pawnee Buttes and Grasslands.

No pressure WSF. No pressure.

She wanders by this blog occasionally so will see your remarks.

Weather permitting. Want to be there at sunrise if the skies will be no more than 50% overcast.

Your sister is one among......maybe two....people who have access to personal information and refuses to divulge. When I was on the fire department, oh the things I could have told - but didn't. I only had to wait for those with big mouths to pass along the info.

My sister is far from a saint but is smart enough to know her well known integrity is her biggest asset.

That is one of those truly sad stories. And thankfully she IS ethical! We need more like that!

Rare, unfortunately.
