I don't remember. It was a great and rewarding job. <br />Remember that old stinky skunk cartoon? Didn't he have a similar name?lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-87978561814535592602010-08-23T23:40:36.140-05:002010-08-23T23:40:36.140-05:00This was very interesting on many levels.

Each year, it's more and more expensive to volunteer ($500 this year), but she saves up her babysitting money and pays for it, because she loves it! She, too, hopes to be a teacher one day.<br /><br />Wow! That must have been VERY freaky!<br /><br />Yesterday, in DePere, Wisconsin, a 23-year-old man was arrested after being found passed out in his car (with his pants full of shit.)

I guess after a second of disbelief, I think I became angry that this idiot was about to hit us. I'll never know what made the driver lose control. Maybe there was a big funnel cloud behind us and he panicked.<br /><br />I had that slow motion experience where every second seem much longer. That's happened in other accidents too. <br /><br />I remember one on a hill, slick with mud and the car just kept going to the edge and was taking me for the ride.

Wisconsin has a lot of festivals, so the driver and passengers of the van were most likely coming back drunk from one of those. I don't think their crazy driving was a result of the tornado. If I remember correctly, you were taking a different route back to the highway too...something you often like to do. It got you in trouble this time.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337090338862378934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-86411933344934801662009-06-12T10:41:13.226-05:002009-06-12T10:41:13.226-05:00@kingsmom - thanks for stopping - Good thing you w...@kingsmom - thanks for stopping - Good thing you were not on the water.
