A day in the life of an ambulance chaser.



So I'm sitting in the waiting room at Carmax (another good story, and don't EVER buy there) and see on the news that a hang glider had crashed into the side of south mountain. I first got a little sad, then a little excited...

Anyway, I picked up my son and we decided to do some investigating. I drove down towards the scene of the accident, and was stopped by 10 million people roaming the streets, fire trucks, and Lifeflight parked dead ahead. We found a vacant house and parked in it's driveway. We moseyed on down to see the helicopter. I was more fascinated than Evan. So I took a pic of him in front of it:)

We then passed a few news stations set up and ready to film. Evan and his BFF had a "crush" on the cute little news reporter, so I asked if I could take a picture of them. She was very sweet and for some reason the cameraman thought I wanted him in it too. Oh well.

I almost forgot about the whole purpose of this excursion. The poor older man that could have died! Well, while walking back to my car parked in my pseudo driveway, he was just being hoisted into the ambulance. I overheard that he was doing ok but had a broken shoulder.

Soooo... What a good way to end an already exciting (jk) day! Oh wait, watch the news today. You might see me and me son prancing around like morons somewhere in the background:)
