People Go Down

Not once but twice last week I saw people get injured on my way through the city. On Thursday I was walking to work when a middle-aged woman dropped like a sack of spuds, hit her head on the pavement and blacked out. She was bleeding slightly from a cut on her head and was unresponsive. As a security guard called for help on his radio, I put a paper towel to her head and tried to wake her up. She came to but was still unresponsive. She sat up by herself and when I asked again if she was ok she looked at me and asked me why. I told her that she passed out and hit her head on the pavement. She asked me 3 times where she was. Totally out of it. By then a cop and an EMT arrived. I explained what happened then was on my merry way again. Yesterday, as I was driving up 57th street, a motorbike in front of me was hit when a car did a Uturn in the middle of the road. The front of the car hits the bike which was doing 25 miles an hour. The biker, wearing a helmet, does a helicopter spin in the air and lands on the ground. The front car bumper and the bike were a wreck. I stopped my car, got out and immediately called 911 to get help. When I got the the injured biker he was being helped by a couple of people. He seemed dazed but was able to sit up. He might have had a fracture in his wrist but otherwise seem fine. As the cops showed up I knew there was not much more I could do. The dude might need a tiny cast and would have quite the headache to deal with but other than that, he was ok. My job was done. I got back in my car and left. I'm like Superman who has no powers and can't fly.

Old Ladies

I voted today. Wheee!!!
Everything went pretty smoothly. I was in line for a total of 15 minutes and I feel that was some sort of record. Nothing seemed to be of any problems save for one. Old ladies in the line. It seems that old ladies have patience problems. I'm not sure why they are in a rush. They're almost dead anyway. At the polling center, I was in front of an old lady who was eye balling every person who came in and went to a different line as if they were trying to pull a fast one on poll reps in order to cut. She even made a comment to one individual about being on the wrong line when they were in fact on the correct line. Old Bag.
My friend told me that while she was waiting on line and person a few people in front of her was joined by a friend who was just chatting and nothing more. Not cutting in. One old lady spoke up about not letting that person cut in. The girl on line said, "relax, she is from Canada and can't even vote." Old Bag.
