Some here may know that I am a member of my local volunteer fire department.  We get some "interesting" calls and this one definitely fits into that category:  http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20110313/NEWS/110313006/1001/
Not mentioned in the article were the thousands of bags of chocolate chips that were also spilled.  I guess it could have been a lot worse.  It could have happened in August.........

I seem to remember awhile back of a tractor-trailer turning over with several tons of honey.  The video on television showed it was quite a mess. salute

I woke up this Morning....Wow, I'm greatful to God for that. I'm happy I awoke from my sleep for it could have been a most distant slumber that I had undertaken...and speaking of an undertaker?--I'd rather not at this point in time.

I'm happy what I woke up to this morning...and thanked my Lord I woke up this Morning.

Local FRD volunteer, a man who heals those those that are sick, has a wonderful relationship with his partner in life and is beating cancer in his spare time.

Hmmm, way to make the rest of us feel good about ourselves bro.  Thumbs Up

I do a lot of work with the LeGrand Fire Department.  I'm sure you know some of them.

Last summer, a truck loaded with bee hives overturned south of the Twin Cities.  Interstate 35 was closed for almost a day while the bees were contained.

Ever jump-out of a moving vehicle?....In my instance it was a pick-up truck---I was 15.
(Dropped-off from my first summer job at a leather factory)

It kinda hurt when I was slammed into the pavement...Oh the things we learn, cheers
