The Seinfeld thread (or the thread about nothing)

[Wchnu]

Just checking in.
Things have been "odd" around here. Winter weather and snow, and ice and sleet.... 
Doing well, all things considered.

Hey OS, really good to here you and the family are surviving this crazy weather -- seems like Texas took it particularly hard, and I've been thinking about you.  We here in Louisiana had some interesting times with it as well, although it hasn't been nearly as bad here as it was there.  My weirdest story was a house fire in our Parish....we had 2 fire trucks (a pumper which holds 1,000 gallons of water and a tanker which holds 1,500 gallons) and Acadian (our ambulance company) on scene and just idling.  The roads are typically a bit bowed to drain the rain off to the ditches on each side.  The road was glare ice, the fire trucks were pumping water (the pumper is used to fight the fire and it nurses off the tanker), and the ambulance is there to support us firefighters.  We were busy fighting the fire when someone noticed that all three vehicles were sliding off the road and into the ditch.  Apparently the vibrations of the vehicles idling were enough to get them moving and ultimately sliding.  We were able to get them out by spraying water to melt the ice on the road so that the tires could get purchase.

The 2 structure fires almost paled in experience to dealing with the motor vehicle accidents and medical calls.  I went on multiple rescue calls where 80+ year olds were without heat -- I could barely tell the temperature difference between the outside and the inside.  It's been a long time since I've worked a 24+ hour shift where you don't have time for a nap.

I talked to Ordinaryshaver earlier. He sounded ok. Had gone out to get food. I told him I was going to check on you. 

Glad you made it through ok. I never lost power. Life was ok. Other then still not back to work.
