learning the blanket technique


tonight's NERT class was all about search and rescue. we learned how to identify how heavily damaged a building might be, whether or not it was searched, and how to get people out of the building if it's unsafe. one of these techniques is the blank technique. essentially, you get the blanket under them, and then lift them out to safety. but what if you can't lift them? well then you just drag.

funny, i don't recall being drunk

today was a rather long day. it didn't help that it followed a night of delicious soup and too many glasses of wine. especially considering the fact that several glasses were from a rather large $1 bottle my mom gave me. (yes, my mom gave me a giant $1 bottle of wine. she bought an entire case at the dollar store and wanted to know if it was "okay to give away to other people." for the record I'd have to say "um, only if you're positive they're going to regift it anyways.")

this afternoon I sent randall a link to this video of a mini-horse running around like lightning. he was shocked as he apparently showed it to me last night, and I insisted it was a dog. I have no memory of this. way to go $1 wine.
