Note to self...

A man passed out in the waiting area at work this morning. It took the ambulance probably about 2 hours to get there. He ended up driving himself home after spending a while in the testing room on the medical table. And I needed to flag the ambulance down because they didn't know our location.
...never need an ambulance.

Inauguration Pictures

The army, the Prime Minister and his wife, the President and his wife, and the winners of the Children's Carnival.

Inauguration

I was "cordially" invited to the Presidential Inauguration yesterday (along with the general public). It was really cool to watch, and there was a parade of National Achievers (kids that excelled in school, sports, music, clubs, etc). Also, lots of the armed forces (tons of men in uniform), bands, a 21-gun salute, national songs and pledges, and there was even a guy selling flags and flashy pins through the stands of the stadium. There was a program with the schedule down to the minutes. But I was impressed: they actually started right on time. I need to mention that there was no security whatsoever. They looked at the color of my invitation, but that's just to tell me where to sit.

Accident

A dump truck ripped off my front bumper with it's tire when it was reversing into a driveway. It sucked, but it was the safest accident to get in...no speed, no impact.
We both went to the closest police station and reported the accident. He took full responsibility in the station (which apparently is a good thing), and I've been driving around with my bumper in my car for a few days. It's getting fixed on Thursday.

Eating Lizards

I ate curried Iguana yesterday. The guys in the lab caught 3 iguanas last Friday, and Christopher killed 'em on Monday, and cooked 'em before work yesterday and brought it in for lunch. I tried just a small bite, had to spit the bones out (maybe it was a leg?). I guess it tasted like chicken, but chicken doesn't even appeal to me. The curry was great, though.

one more dog to report

...don't know why i keep counting.

Gross!

So, a patient came into the testing room, and as she sat down, she asked to use the sink, and muttered something about having a cold. Next thing I hear, is the woman blowing snot rockets into my sink! That's the first time that's ever happened. And, she was sitting right next to a box of kleenex.
