yeah, I got owned. no ticket, though, so I got off.  Really nice cop. didn't bother me to get pulled over (immediately pulled over), just sucks that he was right there.

filling up water containers for patients - thta's a nurse's aid's job.  the best part of the job is talking with patients, i think.  makes the time go by, you don't have to do any stupid tasks, and youget to know them more. makes the care more meaningful, less tedious. 


Interesting:

"The style we're watching? It is boring hockey. Really boring. Out-muscling, out-bumping. The game's almost all played along the boards. In my day, as soon as I got the puck, I faced the play. Now, you watch (Anze) Kopitar, the way he protects the puck. He puts his back towards the defenceman, the defenceman can't do anything. He goes to the left. Then he comes back to the right.

"In the meantime, nothing happens.

"Very seldom do you see a forward beat a defenceman one-on-one. Doesn't happen. And the way Wayne (Gretzky) used to curl and trap guys? Very, very few players do this now. There's just no room out there. And I think most of the guys are restricted in what they're allowed to do.

"Sometimes you didn't watch the game and later that night you see a replay and you say, `Oh, what a spectacular play! Must've been a great game!' But that was the only frickin' play in the whole frickin' game.''

I gotta agree, you never see anyone beat a Dman one on one anymore.
