Visiting the Old City of Philadelphia is one of the most emotional things I've experienced. I walked around with a choke and a quiver at the notion of revolutionary pursuit of independence and freedom.
I'm including some pictures, I never take enough, but it was pretty cool.
Went to the Christ Church cemetery and visited the grave of Benjamin Franklin. Seeing the numerous memorials to children who died and were buried with their parents (including Franklin's four year old) reminded me of the perils of prior ages and the amazing world of medicine and comfort we live in today. It was hard to imagine the tremendous amount of loss families routinely endured.
Cool trip, somber day.
Fauci is a pile of garbage putting all Americans at Risk. Some unfiltered thoughts.
I had this realization and damn near broke. I knew my boss had plans for my career, and understand long term this is going to be both intellectually and financially rewarding, but I have spent thr last 28 years working on an Ambulance at least some. There is a strong likelihood in the next 2 years I am going to have my last ambulance run. At that point I am going to be a Paramedic on paper. There will be a day that people won't know what I actually have done. I will literally be a desk medic. The sad part is, I won't turn it down. I won't allow someone who doesn't get it to take over what needs of the company, the patients, and the employees. But its like I see a part of my life ending. And I don't have a place to dump this anywhere. My life is changing and I am 50 years old. And it dawned on me I have had several bosses at different places setting me up for this.
