Hey Bob,
I've retired from that line of work. No more for me.
Good memories though;
My town, Salmon Arm is suppose to get an MRI installed in the hospital this year; the community just raised $1.5M to buy the MRI and the Hospital Authority is kicking in $2M for the addition. I should offer my services to them as a volunteer? We'll see?

As for the ladder; jeesh! Had many beefs with WCB officers about ladder safety training, believe you me.
Cheers,

I think these would make for a much more interesting America's Cup.

That blonde totally looks like Jennifer Aniston. At least I think so. It's not, is it?

George Clinton. I love this guy.

Aniston? Not so much.

Agreed. I think Jennifer Aniston is smokin' hot. I'd put her in my "top 20 ever" list. Probably even top 10. Something about her. . . Not just straight looks either. I find her more naturally attractive than most of the Hollywood types. Just me I guess.

California rain... I am amazed how someone could flip a truck on a flat, straight road when it gets a little wet out.

+1 on Jennifer aniston.
BTW I was only a few miles from the epicenter of that whittier narrows quake, inside an operating unit in an old oil refinery. Pucker time. Scared the crap out of me, I figured the entire place was going to mushroom cloud.

Actually, there's been several rigs blown over sideways due to today's windstorm.

He could have been avoiding an accident. A lot of people don't realize how long it takes a rig to stop. I'm always amazed when I see someone cut in front of one and hammer the brakes.

It was one of those small Iveco box trucks. The only thing I can think of is that maybe he took the onramp a little too fast and lost it. I'm sure it won't be the last accident around here today. The roads are a real mess. I had to go up in the mountains today to take care of some friends cats. Lots of slides and trees down.
