I has Windows 7, yay. Also, Adobe CS5, more yay :D This is the least note-worthy news I have so I get it out of the way early on o/
So, last night was footy! First Saturday night game of the year, bloody finally. So off we went with Bruce the Commodore, two thermoses of soup and one of pasta, and as many warm clothes and layers as we could possibly wear, because if there's anywhere you're allowed to look like a dick it's at the footy.
'Wow!' say the Annas, who are frankly awesome and brilliant, 'We're going to be there, like, half an hour early! That never happens!'
'BANG!' went the taxi and another car at the intersection.
'Look out!' shouted one Anna.
'Holy crap!' shouted the other, slamming the breaks on (only not because I was already slowing down to stop at the red light the taxi had just tried running, so it was more just a slightly quicker stop than it would otherwise have been.)
So while someone was calling the emergency services, another guy who somehow had a high-vis jacket and clip folder and looked very official directed traffic around all out cars with hazards on, and everyone else stood around gawking, Anna P implemented first aid~ and we saved people from burning wrecks of cars! Only without the fire. They weren't burning. But they were both write-offs, I'm sure, and both deployed their airbags. No serious injuries--the girl in the car turning right had a sore chest from the seatbelt, and was pretty close to going into shock, but that was the worst of it.
We hung around until the ambos arrived, keeping people away from the taxi which was, of course, LPG and could explode at any moment. Left name and number because we were WITNESSES omg.
And then off we went to the footy and sat down about a minute before the bounce. All in a day's work for a coupla Crows supporters X3
And then we thrashed Essendon by 84 points, and made everyone around us jealous with our thermoses of pumpkin soup and pea and ham soup and pasta.
So, how many people did you save from car crashes this evening? Oh, just the one? Well, keep trying X3
