How hangs the hammer everyone???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I'm married and have a great position (as a supervisor) at my job we all call TransCare Ambulance (snicker, snicker)., I might actually have some time to blog. I'm also doing this to shut up the medic we all know as the Yeti (he complains so much about me not blogging, the stress level he's enduring is causing him to not regrow his hair back).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, when last I spoke at you, New Orleans wasn't a shambles... all the levees were still up. The Superdome wasn't a swimming pool. My, my... how things change when a little storm comes a rumblin' in. To all NOers... hats off to you and good luck, I'll get down there someday soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now some current (and not so current events) in the news...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Officer Skerski, may you rest in peace. I feel that there are not enough bullet holes in the carcass of Solomon Montgomery. As a matter of fact, they should have dropped him a couple of times before throwing his ass onto the hospital stretcher at AEMC. It wouldn't bother me one bit to have a bolus of air given to him rapid IV push. Let's save some tax payor dollars!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barbaro, tough luck fracturing your hind leg in three spots. 4 hours of surgery and a metal plate later, you "jog" back to your stall. Nah, Pat's won't be calling for you anytime soon. Hey, look at it this way, if you don't run again... there's is still plenty of stuff for you to do. Your next task, should you choose to accept, TAG ANY MARE YOU WANT and... GET PAID FOR IT!!!! You're also going to set metal detectors off all over town. What more can a male ask for, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YAY!!!!! The Philadelphia Barrage are 1-0 with a 12-11 win over Rochester and the Philadelphia Soul beat Austin in their Wild Card Game today, 52-35. Division Playoffs, here we come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, that's all for now. Please feel free to check out another page of mine. Go to &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/chief83"&gt;www.myspace.com/chief83&lt;/a&gt;. I have strange games to play and other stuff that might interest all of you.

Sitting at my job, again. One of the many that I have. But one thing comes to mind as I sit here and type this entry... Why did the observation tower at City Hall in Philadelphia have to have glass? Councilman Mariano probably would have made a better story if he had just thrown himself through the glass and all the news helicopters caught his 9.8 meters per second squared fall to the unforgiving, pothole ridden streets of Philadelphia, the so-called City of Brotherly love. He was distraught due to him being in trouble with the law (WTF?????). And the only ones to get him to come dawn was Mayor Street and Harold Hairston (just what the city needs, more so called heroism from the Schmuck Hierarchy).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hurricane Wilma: Poor Cozumel and the other countries in the south. I was at Cozumel last October and enjoyed it thoroughly. With all this severe weather down there, I hope that there is someplace to visit next time we go down to the Caribbean. This is the most active season that I've seen in my life. WE NEED SOME RAIN UP HERE!!!!!!!!!! Stop being so damn greedy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, this is a short rant due to fatigue.

I needed to get s**t done. You don't like it, deal with it by swinging at the end of a rope by your neck. Many, many, many things going on since I last left you fine kinfolk. So let's dispense with the pleasantries and get on with, shall we....?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I am no longer Wannabe Medic Mike (according to my former partner, the Yeti). I am now a full fledged legalized Pennsylvania (and Nationally Registered) Paramedic (may GOD have mercy on your souls). If anybody should ask, my former partner is past his stage of denial, thumbsucking, and rocking back and forth in his corner. He has accepted the fact that I have moved on to better things (snicker-snicker) and has found himself a host of partner du jours. Good luck on trying to regrow your hair now, Ed.... :p~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) The WINGS still suck and I have not renewed my season tickets. However, this strange game that is played with a black disk on ice had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Maybe, I shall give this one a try. Maybe this strange Philadelphia team, called the FLYERS apparently, can drum up a record better than 6 and 10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) For all those medically and pre-hospitally inclined.... THERE IS NO PRINTER INK THAT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED IN PORTABLE CARDIAC MONITORS!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN SOMEBODY ANSWER THIS QUESTION FOR ME? How can somebody who tries to placed a cardiac monitor out of service due to low printer ink actually hold the title of PHRN (Pre-Hospital Registered Nurse)? Somebody, please fill me in (no, bones, no ice cream, oranges or telephone poles).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) New Orleans: I have the perfect solution to the problem. DON'T BUILD A CITY BELOW SEA LEVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You want to live below sea level, live in a f'in submarine. At least you won't have to deal with mold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) I still see that the people who live in the city of Philadelphia are nuckin' futs. I'm drunk, let's grab a cop's gun and shoot him for doing his job and detaining me.... and then, shoot another cop. Hey, 2 for the price of 1!!!!!!!! You know what lush (and I'll call you a lush to protect your good name), I hope that someone fires off a Tazer at you and forgets to pull their finger off the trigger. Hope it feels good to lay in your own urine and feces before your heart explodes in your chest, a****le!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Now, to make my former partner happy.... E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!! ...and, now, to tick him off... John Street, John Street, John Street!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) Last, but not least... Do please try to help the people in the Gulf Coast. They need it more than the pinheaded p***ks out in California trying to protect their million dollar homes from the Orange Monster. At least you jerk-offs out west can rebuild quickly!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that, I am here to inform you that I am back with regular postings with a vengeance (just not everyday, I have this strange thing called a life)... unlike my former partner, who I see still hates the wingers (I just can't remember if it was the left or right). Keep ranting and raving, all!!!!!!!

I must say it was a very nice going away ceremony in which actually brought some tears to my eyes. But, my Yeti partner wouldn't know, he didn't show up in time (MEOW!!!!!). It would have been nice to give Hollywood a win for his final home game against the Rock, but alas it was not meant to be. Thus, brings me to today... Sunday, April 10th 2005. Da WINGS play the Toronto Rack again in the Air Canada Center.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nll.com/article_1787.shtml"&gt;http://www.nll.com/article_1787.shtml&lt;/a&gt;- ARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! WHY?!?!? WHY?!?!? WHY?!?!? I really, really, really, really want to kick the tube of my TV set in right now. Enough said, there is one more game that the WINGS can do some damage. Then its, off to the Golf Courses and a long wait for the 2006 season to arrive (SIGH).

They sure know how to set themselves up for heartbreak. But they still have that SLIM, and I mean slim chance to get into the playoffs. They must win all their games left and Rochester must lose all their remaining games. Not bloody likely to happen, but the sun does shine on a flea bearing quadaped's posterior occasionally. Let's pull your heads out of your as**s and beat Toronto this Saturday, guys. W-I-N-G-S, WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 &amp;amp; 3) May Terry Schiavo and Pope John Paul II rest in peace. They have fulfilled their obligations on this planet and moved on to a better existence. God Bless the both of you... Now for the rest of the humans still on this plane, let Terry go and stop bickering over where her body needs to be next. End this futile crap NOW!!!!! It's not worth the energy. I was never really a religious man, but I do believe in the almighty creator. So with that in mind, take care of the our late Pope John Paul II. May you give him peace and happiness in the eternal life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Battlestar Galactica... the season finale made me want to kick in my TV (only because I now have to wait for it to return in July.... ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!) Why must these industrialist Networks torture us feeble minded human males by making us wait to see what happens to Boomer, Starbuck, Six, etc., etc. etc.? Oh yeah, I wouldn't want to forget about our friend, Dr. Baltar (coo-coo, coo-coo). See in July!!!!!!!!!!1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good Night, all.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9669348-111258141116740057?l=ivgauge14.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/feeds/111258141116740057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9669348&amp;postID=111258141116740057' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/111258141116740057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/111258141116740057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/2005/04/grrrr-rip-grrrr.html' title='Grrrr, R.I.P, Grrrr...'/><author><name>EMT-PWE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03419529312755866658</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9669348.post-111155457518010800</id><published>2005-03-23T00:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-03-22T21:09:35.183-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Why????</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Can we please let poor Terry Schiavo go? I mean, come on people, do her parents actually think that she is going to jump and dance a jig in the near future?? Are these people just that stupid???? She has been in a vegetative state for at least 4 years. In my opinion, this has gone off long enough. Why the hell do we need to involve our 3 highest branches of government in this ridiculous charade? I believe that they have more important issues to worry about than some disillusioned crusade being carried on by 2 people (AKA parents) that have a real disattachment problem to certain things (AKA daughter). Besides, isn't it true that, when her mother was in dire straits (AKA very sick), she stated that she wanted no treatment like this if this were to happen to her? It was apparently spoken in front of her husband and 2 brothers.... Hmmmm, makes you think. I know, I know, I maybe fraying some nerves of the few people who actually read this blog, but being in EMS, I know what should be done. Enough said, I'm gonna get the s**ts if I continue on this subject.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Now, a teenager from the Red Lake INDIAN Reservation, went on a shooting spree in his school in Minnesota recently. WTF??? This boy apparently was reading a website run by the NAZIs and was named the "Angel of Death" on this particular website. What in god's name is an American INDIAN boy reading the lunatic rantings of a "cult" that exterminated millions of Jewish people in WWII just because they were Jewish??? What is this world coming to???? I'm afraid to go to the bathroom at night because, the toilet might eat me... Anyway, I bid you adieu.

Even before the first skirmish for the ball, the two teams were pushing and shoving each other. Hey, Ed, HOW ABOUT ACTUALLY ARRIVING FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM??? &lt;a href="http://www.nll.com/article_1696.shtml"&gt;http://www.nll.com/article_1696.shtml&lt;/a&gt;.

Jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to ride in a crushed up Chevrolet, HEY! Wait, Bi-polar moment, I drive a Ford.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, now that I'm done the feeble attempt at clearing my walkway, I thought I would take time again to post my opinions. First, is anybody tired of the snow yet? Personally, I like snow, but this is ridiculous... Stupid Groundhog!!!! I just know I'm going to wake up tomorrow morning and not be able to find my damn walkway again... Oh well, such as life, NEXT!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, the feces have apparently hit the oscillating rotary blades when it comes to Y-100 (I'll pay the Yeti his royalties later). The Fans in Philadelphia are in an uproar at the new format (AKA Hip-Hop/ R&amp;amp;B). WTF???? Doesn't this f'in city and suburbs have enough of these channels (96.5, 98.9, 102.1, etc, etc). They moved the "Beat" from 103.9 to 100.3. Now they are going to make 103.9 gospel. ????????? I'm sorry, but there is just too much free market when it comes to radio. The oversized penises from Radio One think that this will bring in more money because it is the "IN" thing. BITE ME!!!!!!!!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Well,&lt;/span&gt; y&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;ou jerk-offs have now created a monster in the City O' Brotherly Love and your gonna more than likely have shoved right up your a*ses in the long run. BRING BACK Y-100, fegulas!!!!! And this is one of the many reasons why I have XM satellite radio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Third, No fare hikes and no schedule changes. Gov. Rendell has saved SEPTA (well, temporarily right now). Our savior has given the Mongolian Cluster F**k of a company 412 million dollars to get its act together. Whatever money it doesn't use, goes back into the state roadway funds. Hurry, guys!!!! Remember the movie &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Brewster's Millions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;? It's kinda like that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Last but not least... we had one hell of a determined little f***er in the Middle East. &lt;a href="http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20050228024709990001"&gt;http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20050228024709990001&lt;/a&gt;.

During the boundless runs he got today, the rear end gears, WHICH I HAVE BEEN SAYING NEED REPLACING FOR SIX MONTHS+, decide to seize and snap the driveshaft off. Thus placing our unit out of service (again) after begin placed back into service with approximately 2, 400 dollars worth of work done to it, including an inspection of the rear end gears and giving them a clean bill of health. See pictures @ &lt;a href="http://trekmedic251.blogspot.com"&gt;http://trekmedic251.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that being said, I wish I could just go to my boss and say, "I f**kin' told you so , jacka**." I swear to the almighty above if he had a brain in his head he would be dangerous. Oh wait, they let him procreate... he already is dangerous. Our boss is probably one of the cheapest, stupidest people I have ever met... THIS MAN TRIED TO REFILL DISPOSABLE WIPERS, for Christ sake!!!!!!!!

I haven't blogged in the past couple of days due to flu like symptoms and chest pains. Unfortunately, I had to call out of work for 2 days and go to the ER at Phoenixville Hospital. Good news, no pneumonia or flu, just a nasty case of bronchitis. However, I'm coughing up my lungs and have a sore throat. They've also put me on Z-pac. Hopefully, I'll have some intestinal flora left by the time I'm done taken all the pills. Hope the Yeti fells better...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, to all the NASCAR fans out their, the Great American Race (AKA the Daytona 500) is officially completed.

Two stickers caught my eyes. One of them was a KERRY/ EDWARDS sticker, the other... a bumper sticker that spelled out "I have many friends, you just can't see them all." That one was right under the election bumper sticker. I was pondering, is this person driving this vehicle truly that out of their mind or are they trying to state the obvious about Kerry/ Edwards and the entire Democratic Party? Kind of makes wonder about the commercials with the monkeys we all saw during the Super Bowl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, once again, Mayor Street is in the news. the FBI (AKA G-Men) reveal evidence about questionable dealings between Mayor Street and the renowned Commerce Bank. Head Dumba** approached a Commerce Aid in reference to refinancing the his home mortgage. It is now in memo form along with, at the same time, Commerce winning millions of dollars in city business... AHHHHH, the plot continues to thicken. We shall return to this at a later time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Arlen Specter, even though I tried to vote your sorry a** out of office, good luck with your battle with Cancer.

This time, it's just gotten a little too personal. 2 French delegates enter the beloved city of Philadelphia and Mayor Street welcomes them with open arms and hands over a small liberty bell. These French a-holes are one of the many that protest the conviction of Mumia Abu-Jamal (and, oh yeah, also made him an honorary citizen). What is this man thinking??? Even though he apparently publicly and personally apologized to the wife/ widow of Officer Daniel Faulkner, I think that Mayor Street should probably sit in the chair with Jamal when they throw the switch. Maybe, with his lips around his d***. Sorry, just a little irritated with this pinheaded pr**k. Sad part, I don't even live in the city. I feel sorry for all the kin folk within the city limits&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Next on my hit list, the sorry shmuck that decided to play a prank at his high school and got caught doing it. Plan was to run around on the roof in a gorilla mask and peak into class room windows. Nice plan, just one problem. The massive police response you got. I wonder if the kid realized how many guns were trained on him at one time, dumba**. With this, 'tis late and I need to go beedy-bye.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9669348-110853324519427927?l=ivgauge14.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/feeds/110853324519427927/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9669348&amp;postID=110853324519427927' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110853324519427927'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110853324519427927'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/2005/02/tsk-tsk-tsk.html' title='Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.'/><author><name>EMT-PWE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03419529312755866658</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9669348.post-110844029099145977</id><published>2005-02-14T23:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-02-14T20:04:50.993-08:00</updated><title type='text'>More Heartbreak...</title><content type='html'>Well, it looks to be official. The NHL is most likely going to cancel the season at a Wednesday news conference. However, they are apparently still talking according to some sources I heard during the AHL All-Star Game. Oh by the way, Planet USA beat the Canananananadians in an OT shootout 5-4. Planet USA finally broke their winless streak at 4 with this win. Hmmmm... only if the Phildaelphia Wings could pull their heads out of the as**s and do something like this. Anyway, they have stated that they are going to talk in Buffalo until the very last minute. We shall see what happens. In my opinion, don't hold your breath. I'm a huge Philadelphia Flyers fan, but I can't see these greedy bas***ds agreeing to anything at this point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a Valentine's Day note... what a sad world we live in when you have Virgin Mobile as your cellular service and you now are in midst of your "Date From Hell." Well looky here, you can dial three numbers discreetly to your service and they will call you back in less than a minute with a perfect excuse to get yourself out of the date. Not only that, they'll talk you through in what you need to say as well. OY!!!! WTF is this world coming to?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20050208084009990020&amp;amp;cid=936"&gt;Rugby Fan Reportedly Keeps Word, Cuts Off Testicles&lt;/a&gt;: Do I need to say anymore?????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last, but not least, some putz decides to walk into a mall in Kingston, New York with an AK-47 and proceeds to light the place up. Unfortunately he was tackled by "Mall Employees" (AKA unarmed security officers) AFTER HE RAN OUT OF AMMO!!!!!!!! I'm going to continue my journey to the fiery abyss down below, but did he think he was some game connected to a cheat code that gave him unlimited ammunition???? Poor planning, my friend, poor planning...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that, Satan calls my name and I must go. :p~~~~~ GOOD NIGHT, LADIES AND GENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9669348-110844029099145977?l=ivgauge14.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/feeds/110844029099145977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9669348&amp;postID=110844029099145977' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110844029099145977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110844029099145977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/2005/02/more-heartbreak.html' title='More Heartbreak...'/><author><name>EMT-PWE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03419529312755866658</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9669348.post-110834376921502610</id><published>2005-02-13T19:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-02-14T20:06:19.036-08:00</updated><title type='text'>It's been a while (part deux)....</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Sorry, folks, more important tasks at hand than blogging in recent weeks. I am slowly (and I mean slowly) returning to this blog posting. Anyhow, you few points that I would like to bring up. I'm cutting to the chase, so here goes....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) The Einsteins at UPN have decided to cancel one of my favorite shows, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Star Trek: Enterprise&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;A-Holes&lt;/strong&gt;!!!!!!!!!!! Just because a few of you Trekkie FREAKS watched the show and then dissected it saying "Oh god, it doesn't follow the written history of Star Trek (Wa Wa Wa Wa!!!!!!). Therefore, it's gonna suck and I'm not gonna watch it!!!!!!!!" To those few jerk-offs, &lt;strong&gt;BITE ME&lt;/strong&gt;!!!!! I don't care about the friggin' history, it was a damn good show. How many ST Episodes did you get to see a half naked Vulcan (that wasn't male)? How many times in previous ST Episodes did you get to see computer generated people get sucked out of the ship to their untimely death via decompression after the hull was breached? How many episodes did you get to see the ship actually take damage? I could keep asking you questions like this, but your FREAK heads might explode. Thanks, jerk-offs, hope you're happy now!!!! Well, I now run to my second point....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Battlestar Galactica&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (Six, Starbuck and Boomer.... meow!!!!! Sorry, I digress). Now this is a show, unless of course Richard Hatch starts to whine and complain about it again (nothing a bullet won't fix). Beautiful Cylon agents that look like humans and are apparently "dressed." God bless the people who decided to bring this show back from the dead and added a little spice to it. A few things I like about it, they re-vamped Galactica to kick some serious ASS, they brought back the Mark 2 Vipers, new Cylon Drones, Six, Boomer and Starbuck. Besides Ghost Hunters, this is the only other reason why I watch the SciFi Channel. By the way, if you haven't watched this show, Starbuck is female. Don't even think about it (I am not a fegula)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Yes, yes, yes, I know. The Eagles didn't win the Super Bowl. I mourn quietly for them in my heart. But, in my opinion, they beat themselves in this game. They did not bring their "A" game to the table. But hey, there's always next year. GO BIRDS!!!!!! E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) The Shiites won over half the vote in Iraq and will probably have to form a coalition government with the Kurds. yay. This I got to see. I'm really not sure if these people can truly co-exist in the same space together. This is where I say as the US... Bow out, let them kill each other and let Allah sort them out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good night folks, I shall return soon!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9669348-110834376921502610?l=ivgauge14.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/feeds/110834376921502610/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9669348&amp;postID=110834376921502610' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110834376921502610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110834376921502610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/2005/02/its-been-while-part-deux.html' title='It&apos;s been a while (part deux)....'/><author><name>EMT-PWE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03419529312755866658</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9669348.post-110551047770222459</id><published>2005-01-12T01:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-01-12T03:48:00.776-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Andrea Yates.... Can't you both go away?</title><content type='html'>Well, let's start with the "bi-polar" (and I don't mean bear X 2) b**ch who somehow got off because a guy (an expert witness, for c***t sake) pretty much said "yes" when he should have said "no." Oh yeah, he also made mention of an episode of "LAW &amp;amp; ORDER" which never aired. Now he has given false testimony. Who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way I see it, whether he gave false testimony or not, the psychotic redneck from Texas still drowned all &lt;strong&gt;5&lt;/strong&gt;, yes folks, &lt;strong&gt;5&lt;/strong&gt; of her kids in her bath tub at home. Now, with that, she s going to get a retrial and her defense will be postpartum depression. Are these morons f***king kidding me?!?!?!? Now this is from CNN, &lt;em&gt;"On June 20, 2001, Yates confessed to police that she drowned her five children in a bathtub because she had been a bad mother who hopelessly damaged them."&lt;/em&gt; Well, she damaged them alright, and yes, she was a bad mother. I'm not up and coming on the women's side of child birth, but postpartum depression can last up to a year, is treatable, and manageable. Last time I checked, killing your only offspring isn't going to cure it. So with that, here's what I think the lovely state of Texas should do to this broad:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Hang her.&lt;br /&gt;2) Drag her behind a truck at high speed.&lt;br /&gt;3) Send her to New York where she can buy the latest fashion accessory from the mob.... CEMENT SHOES (I like this one the most, maybe she'll get to know how her kids felt when she was doing it to them). Apply thin layer of MEOW-HISS here and open the door to the fiery abyss a little more, my fat a** can't quite get through yet!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;4) Send over the border, tie her to a wall and be put to death by firing squad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bow out gracefully and say, " George, get out soon, I need a few good laughs!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9669348-110551047770222459?l=ivgauge14.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/feeds/110551047770222459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9669348&amp;postID=110551047770222459' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110551047770222459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110551047770222459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/2005/01/andrea-yates-cant-you-both-go-away.html' title='Andrea Yates....

Actually, I ran out of Heparin and everything clotted up (hehehehe... sorry, bad EMS humor). No, no, actually, the computer took a temporary dump and I was just too lazy to blog on certain days (THERE, I ADMIT TO IT).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, let me begin. I recently heard that the people over in Asia were complaining that the U.S. was not moving fast enough to bring aid to the Tsunami ravaged countries. Well, let's start out with this. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO HELP YOU AT ALL, SO BITE ON ONE!!!!!! We could have been just like some of these other countries that just turned a blind eye to the situation and done nothing at all. Last time I checked, money doesn't grow on trees. Therefore, we needed to find ways of scrounging it up. To all those whiners o'er in the far east, we're there (so chew on that). But now, in India, were not allowed to enter the Islands of Andaman and Nicobar due to security of a military base and indigenous tribes... WTF? Do you want our help or not? Can common sense ever overrule politics?????? I just don't get it folks, I really don't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, a grandmother in Boise, Idaho was found innocent by reason on insanity after jumping into a river with her 19 month granddaughter. She then climbed out of the river, but without child. And, the body was never found.... Wow, only Idaho, folks, only in Idaho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I take my leave now. Good night all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9669348-110481737655086530?l=ivgauge14.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/feeds/110481737655086530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9669348&amp;postID=110481737655086530' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110481737655086530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110481737655086530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/2005/01/ok-ok-now-im-really-back.html' title='Ok, Ok, Now I&apos;m Really Back...'/><author><name>EMT-PWE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03419529312755866658</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9669348.post-110430022144929985</id><published>2004-12-28T21:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-28T22:03:41.450-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm Back...(with a quiet vengeance)</title><content type='html'>Greetings all. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I merely have 2 things to say and they shall be brief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) There is nothing wrong with burying people in mass graves after a Tsunami (I don't care what religion you are). How about helping the people that are actually living instead of worrying about what spot you're going to dig a hole in the ground for your loved one. There are 58,000+ bodies to be buried as of this point!!!!! You're quite lucky there is any ground to stand on after the disaster, let alone bury the dead with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) My favorite comedian, George Carlin... Good luck, buddy. Hope to hear you or see you on stage real soon. Nothing in this world is worth a wine and Vicodin binge!!!!!!! Well, unless you work with a geriatric, Yeti Paramedic... With that, I quietly leave until next time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9669348-110430022144929985?l=ivgauge14.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/feeds/110430022144929985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9669348&amp;postID=110430022144929985' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110430022144929985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110430022144929985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/2004/12/im-backwith-quiet-vengeance.html' title='I&apos;m Back...(with a quiet vengeance)'/><author><name>EMT-PWE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03419529312755866658</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9669348.post-110369091876568127</id><published>2004-12-21T23:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-21T20:52:17.310-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Grrrrr.....</title><content type='html'>So I come home from another "slow" day of lugging the sick around and quickly glanced at the news. We apparently lost 15 soldiers and 5 civilians in a rocket attack. They say that the rocket attack occurred during the lunch time hour where most of the soldiers and civilians were congregated. I'm not going to go into detail on this because it really pi**es me off to no end. CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHEN WE'RE JUST TURN THIS PLACE INTO A PARKING LOT OR IRRADIATE IT TO THE POINT WHERE IT WILL BE QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE NEXT 10, 000 YEARS?!?!?!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sorry, I feel this war was just a completion (or continuation) by Jr. of what Bush Sr. was trying to do. But, you know what, it needed to be done. We don't need rat bastards like Hussein running any countries. He deserves to be put away forever or be killed for what he's done. I feel better with him not having his finger on his version of "The Big Red Button." However, I feel like that this is another Vietnam and we're being crapped on every time a chance arises. Oh, what to do? Stay Tuned, more "fun" to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a more lighter note, a mother in Dallas is suing Wal-Mart for approximately 25,000,000 dollars because they sold her "sick" daughter a shotgun. Well, the girl promptly blew her head off in 2003 (for the politically correct, committed suicide). Sick from what, you ask? The girl was a manic depressive and schizophrenic. She was supposedly on anti-psychotic medication, and also attacked a fellow customer at the store where her prescriptions were filled. The mother claims that Wal-Mart should have known this or checked her prescription records before selling the gun. AH, Hello?!?!? HIPPA!!!! HIPPA!!!! HIPPA!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wal-Mart did their job (ran a background check) and found nothing to support not selling her the gun. Is it me or does it seems to me that mommy dearest wasn't doing her paternal duties as a mother? Granted the girl was 24, but she obviously had some issues. You know what... you can lead a horse to water, but you can't force it to drink. I don't see anywhere in the news that mommy was shoving pills down her daughter's throat to keep her "sane." One can only assume that she wasn't taking her medications or the medications she was taking were incorrect/or dosed wrong. Either way, mommy or daughter did nothing to correct and we know the end result. Don't blame Wal-Mart, it's not their fault!!!!! They didn't pull the trigger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9669348-110369091876568127?l=ivgauge14.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/feeds/110369091876568127/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9669348&amp;postID=110369091876568127' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110369091876568127'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110369091876568127'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/2004/12/grrrrr.html' title='Grrrrr.....'/><author><name>EMT-PWE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03419529312755866658</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9669348.post-110360752821192470</id><published>2004-12-20T22:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-20T21:39:29.786-08:00</updated><title type='text'>My, Oh, my...</title><content type='html'>Well, today was certainly one for the record books as far as the weather was concerned. My partner, the YETI, and I braved the elements (21 degree weather with -1 degree wind chill) to complete our good deeds for the day (AKA A.L.S. Transports. Now, let the record state that the A.L.S., in this case, doesn't stand for Advanced Life Support... hehehehe). It made me wonder how long it would take me to get enough money up to say take another cruise on the Caribbean with my beautiful fiancee. Then I thought, better yet, get the money to move to a very warm state. Say FLORIDA, yeah, Florida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd move to Florida and live in small town. OOOHHHHHH, Ocean Breeze Park.... sounds real good, real quiet. But, there are a two things that go along with this town that strike me as odd and as totally off the wall. The average age of the people that live in this quaint little town is 55 years old and the F***ing mayor is 96!!!!!!!!!!! WTF??? She'll be 98 when her term is completed, and she uses a walker to get around.... Wow, whodathunkit.... Only in Florida. Two thumbs up, grandma. Make sure no leaves with their mobile homes before they pay taxes. I have nothing further to add and, thus, will bow out gracefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9669348-110360752821192470?l=ivgauge14.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/feeds/110360752821192470/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9669348&amp;postID=110360752821192470' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110360752821192470'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110360752821192470'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/2004/12/my-oh-my.html' title='My, Oh, my...'/><author><name>EMT-PWE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03419529312755866658</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9669348.post-110351365641954414</id><published>2004-12-19T22:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-19T19:34:16.420-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Short, but Sweet...</title><content type='html'>It was a win... an ugly win, but nonetheless, it was a win.

A 30+ year old female goes to Skidmore, MO to buy a RAT Terrier (like there's any other kind). She meets up with the supplier and then promptly kills her. She then cuts open the woman and retrieves a baby (8 months gestation). Throwing salt into the wound, she now prances around showing off this baby (namely to customers at a local cafe and her PASTOR, for heaven's sake: Pardon the reference). DING!! DING!! DING!! Anything seems funny to you here? Especially after the new "mom" says that the child is only 1 day old. Well, she was busted (wow, this story is fresh out of a B-movie and Soap Opera combined). The oblivious husband had no idea. Apparently, this female was pregnant and they don't know what happened to her baby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SOLUTION:&lt;/strong&gt; I'll kill some one and steal their kid. Good one, honey. I guess she forgot about the changes the body goes through before, during and after the birthing process. Last time I checked the body doesn't return to its statuesque state after a 21 inch, 15 Lb. kid tears you from the inside out. You know what the people of MO should do to this "woman," the same thing that she did to that girl (except... put in on cable- PPV, perhaps). Sick F***ing rednecks!!!!!! Like I said the last blog, the fiery abyss awaits me. I'm just waiting for the door to open wide enough so that I may pass through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next quirk in my shorts (take it as you will). I received a picture from my partner, the self proclaimed GOD, today. I contained an ambulance that was painted in a checkered pattern. The colors were purple and yellow. Now, I'm not sure if this is an actual ambulance or some dumb goof that has too much free time on his/ her hands and decided to play with his/ her paintbrush program. Either way, whoever you are, you should be hung outside by your toenails.... or just plain shoot with bullets of multiple caliber(s). But, the question that plagues me is... why would anyone take a piece of EMS apparatus and paint it like the water tower you would find in your local, hicktown, BFE airport? SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER THAT ONE FOR ME!!!!! I will exclude and disregard any answers with oranges, ice cream, bones and/ or telephone poles in them. I've spoken my peace this evening, Good Night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9669348-110342809771424443?l=ivgauge14.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/feeds/110342809771424443/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9669348&amp;postID=110342809771424443' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110342809771424443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110342809771424443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/2004/12/sick-people-in-world-today-plus.html' title='Sick People In the World Today (plus an unusual picture)...'/><author><name>EMT-PWE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03419529312755866658</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9669348.post-110334175174443696</id><published>2004-12-17T22:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-21T20:54:11.626-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hello and WTF is going on with SEPTA (With a Twist of Mayor Street)?</title><content type='html'>For all you EMS personnel out there, my Blog name speaks of pain... I'm the evil counterpart of the Veteran Blogger TrekMedic251, with a few exceptions. He's a Paramedic for the state of PA, I'm just the lowly Paramedic Student which, according to him, must bow to him (apparently he believes he is GOD, HA!!!!). He's a man who is 13 years older than me, and has less hair than me. What hair he has left... is mostly grey (I hear a door to the fiery abyss beginning to open about now). AND, he EXPECTS me to bow to HIM?!?!?!? Not bloody likely. Anyway, enough about demonic partner and myself. Sit back and, hopefully, enjoy my debut blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority or... Southeastern Pennsylvania Transient A-HOLES?). WTF???? Are these people kidding me? This $62,ooo,ooo debt did not grow overnight, people. Now they expect the "fine" people of Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs to suffer by raising rates, cutting jobs and service. Now with that being said, I have, for a second year, picked up Season Tickets for the Philadelphia W-I-N-G-S and used SEPTA throughout the first year. Now, SEPTA wants to cut weekend service (Sunday schedule for Saturday and reduction in Sunday service... whatever the hell that means). Well, this thoroughly pi***s me off. I now have to wait for the REVISED schedule to come out and hope to GOD that I don't have to drive truck car into the Sports Complex... and fight for parking, wait in traffic to enter/ leave, breath CO and listen to people curse everybody and their paramedic partner out. Besides, if you look at the bigger picture, what will this do for and to the E-A-G-L-E-S, Sixers, KIXX, Soul and Flyers (YES, I said Flyers. KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE, damn it!)? I'm fairly confident that I speak for many people who share the same view. To everybody who deals with SEPTA, I know this is going to hurt... bend over, smile and take it like a champ (for now)!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey, Board of Diaperwipes (or "Directors," whatever you prefer), I got a solution for you. You've known that you would have this debt for many, many years and &lt;strong&gt;now&lt;/strong&gt; it needs to get taken care. &lt;strong&gt;SOLUTION:&lt;/strong&gt; Why don't you go out on the street corner with the rest of vagrants, hold up a cup and ask for people's spare change?!?!?!? It has a tendancy to work!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, the infamous Mayor John Street (your turn to burn). You preached that you would go to court to stop this insanity. FINE. Let me ask you this... how far was your head up your ass when you tried to shut down 8 Engine and Ladder Companies. Hey, here's an idea. You go ahead, go to court and get SEPTA to run at 100%. Go ahead and close down those companies. You don't need them. The next fire you get, just bring in SEPTA with a bunch of geriatrics on board. They can throw their catheter bags full of urine on the fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9669348-110334175174443696?l=ivgauge14.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/feeds/110334175174443696/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9669348&amp;postID=110334175174443696' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110334175174443696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9669348/posts/default/110334175174443696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivgauge14.blogspot.com/2004/12/hello-and-wtf-is-going-on-with-septa.html' title='Hello and WTF is going on with SEPTA (With a Twist of Mayor Street)?'/><author><name>EMT-PWE</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03419529312755866658</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
