What a snowy day! I thought I would die on my way to the VA when I turned onto highway 89. I am glad to report that I arrived safe and in one piece. I was hoping for some good SRP this morning but it turned out to be 1 quad of a II. Meh... At least I got some anesthetic done and another pano and set of BWX.

I find the demographics at the VA to be interesting. People come in here from all walks of life. I have learned over the years that everyone has been delt a difficult deck of cards custom made for them. If you talk with someone long enough they may open up a little about their own personal refiner's fire and suddenly you may realize that life could be so much worse. We are all too aware of our faults, and the things that make life hard for us. What we really need is someone to love us, people to build us up, to give us hope. I think many of the world's problems could be solved if we (myself included) took a step back, stopped thinking so much on ourselves, our problems, the things we are dealing with, let go of selfish desires and then live to lift another, to lighten another's load.

Case in point: this morning a semi truck driver fell asleep and crashed into the median on the freeway destroying the truck, losing some 42,ooo lbs of beef on the road, causing I-15 to shut down for hours during rush hour traffic thus putting many many people off schedule. The driver is fine but he (assuming it's a he) has to deal with his boss, the police, and a fine among other things. I am sure he will get yelled at and reamed for his actions and while he did cause a lot of damage I thought of being in his shoes right now. I would be traumatized from the accident, probably shaky. He will more than likely lose his job and have to find alternate work. In this economy that is not going to be easy. How will he pay the fines for the damage done without a job? The last thing he needs is for someone to tell him what he did wrong and be gruff with him about the situation. I feel bad for him.
