I just realized that paramedics and EMT's, the people who get to you before you even get to the hospital, are real people. It just occurred to me that I personally know a few of them. They're real people with real jobs, who deal with a lot of crap, especially on holidays like this.
So, instead of my usual chatter, I am going to make a heartfelt plea.
Please, pray today. But don't just pray for the idiots out there who are going to do stupid stuff and get hurt today. Pray for the people who have to deal with those idiots; the people who are working today because they know they're going to end up saving someone's life. Pray for them, and don't ever forget: the people riding in ambulances aren't just obscure people you're never likely to meet again. In fact, everyone you ever see, at a party, walking down the street, in the elevator, they're all people, who have problems and thoughts and ideas just like you. And, some of them may end up the most important people (or person) in your life.
