Some 911 calls from “You Called 911 for What?”

Cap’n Craig Colantoni I actually got a 911 call from an older lady that stated that she need the paramedics out at her house because her husband was having a stroke. She stated that he was in his 70’s and then she told me the one thing i didn’t want to hear, and she said [...]

It’s Gonna Be

a very interesting day.  I am here at work, it is 7:04 am and I am operating on less than three hours of sleep.  I’m thankful I’m not training today because I wouldn’t have been any good at it.
Went to bed last night around 10:30pm hoping I would get a decent enough amount of sleep.  [...]

Rescued Tiger in Malaysia

I know I harp on this a lot but it infuriates to the point of rage when people think they have a right to poach animals off refuges or anywhere.  This kind of thing needs to stop NOW before all our endangered species are no longer endangered but have moved to [...]

Headlights

Let’s talk about headlights for a moment.  I don’t understand what is so hard for people to comprehend when headlights are required so figured I’d explain it a little.
It is standard rule that if the street lights are on, your headlights must also be on.  Most people would have them on before this but they [...]

Hilarious

Talk about something being hilariously ironic – I finally get an offer on my condo just after I’m served the foreclosure documents.  Isn’t that just so damn laughable that it makes a person want to laugh till they cry? I know I sure laughed over it.  It is too late, according to the attorney, to [...]

Jeezus Bejeezus

What is so hard about remembering my days off? Why do people constantly ask me if I have today off or do I have tomorrow off when I have told them a hundred times I have Wed-Fri nights off. What is so freaking hard about remembering that? So damn irritating.
Every single week my neighbor asks [...]

Tigers at the Brink

Tigers have long been a favorite big cat of mine – they are graceful, stunning and firmly on their way to extinction.  Of the eight subspecies of tigers, three have met with total extinction in my life time. This knowledge grieves me greatly.  I will never understand the human races need to destroy everything in its [...]

Liquor Laws

I have another complaint – might as well just get it out in the open because it is going to fester otherwise.  No doubt the conservative state of Iowa thinks it is really doing everyone a great service with this stupid law but I find it asinine. 
When I got off work at 3am I was [...]

Way Too Expensive

I really wanted to give my son a special gift this year – whether it counted towards Christmas or not, I didn’t care.  Faithfully I have checked the website for when tickets went on sale to this special event hoping to catch it early so I could buy him and a friend of his choice [...]

Dusty Dirt

While I was waiting for the staff to return to the doctor’s office today, I decided to go wash my car.  There was a thin layer of dust on it which makes it appear dull in color instead of shiny.  I spent the money, washed the car and went back to my apt.  Later I [...]
