Another Reason Why Going To The DMV Sucks

Office stays open after car crash

'LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A car crashed through a wall at a state revenue office without blocking the entrance.

That worked out well for employees and customers. They continued to go about their business, renewing drivers licenses and vehicle registrations.

No one was hurt when a 2006 Chrysler 300, driven by Fannie Lee Harris, 63, of Little Rock, burst through windows and a glass door at about 2 p.m. Wednesday, police said.

The office at the Ashley Square Shopping Center on North Rodney Parham Road in west Little Rock planned to stay open through repairs, office supervisor Franklin Furlough said.

"We're the state revenue office. We don't quit for the rain, sleet or snow," he said. "We don't miss a beat."

Harris told police she didn't know what caused the accident but said her leg might have "locked up on the gas." Her husband, Charles Harris, was in the car with her.

"I don't know what happened," he said. "We drove up to park, and the next thing I know, we were coming in ... it was kind of in slow motion." Harris said he was thankful no one was injured.

Cashier Carla Chase said a woman having her picture for a drivers license was just a few feet from where the car crash. The woman jumped over a counter to get clear of the vehicle.

"If it had kept going, it would have pinned her," Chase said. "The sound of it was the scariest part."'

Some of their stuff is really cool.

They must have skillz because no one usually tags over their work.

I hate taggers and such, but I dig when graffiti has some art, and a thought behind it.

Road Trip!

Clinton has a post that mentions road trips and in the comments everyone talks about their great treks across the hemisphere.

So, what was your longest road trip and how long did it take?

My longest road trip was from Denver to Miami.

Took 2 days with a one night layover at a friend's house in St. Louis.

I had to help with the driving and it was a stick as well.

I don't know how to drive a stick actually.

Needless to say, I only drove on the interstate.

Funny thing is I don't remember driving back.

Did we fly?

Hmmm.

'Crickets chirp at different rates depending on their species and the temperature of their environment.

Most species chirp at higher rates the higher the temperature is (approx. 60 chirps a minute at 13°C in one common species; each species has its own rate).

The relationship between temperature and the rate of chirping is known as Dolbear's Law.

In fact, according to this law, it is possible to calculate the temperature in Fahrenheit by adding 40 to the number of chirps produced in 15 seconds by the snowy tree cricket common in the United States.'

Hepatitis C fear for thousands in Nevada

Officials urge patients to be tested for that virus as well as HIV

'LAS VEGAS - A clinic may have infected a handful of patients with hepatitis C — but about 40,000 more should be tested for that virus, as well as for HIV, health officials said Wednesday.

Six people who underwent procedures at the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada now have the blood-borne hepatitis C virus, the Southern Nevada Health District said in a statement.

Five of them were treated the same day in late September; the sixth is believed to have been infected in July, the district said.

An investigation determined that “unsafe injection practices related to the administration of anesthesia medication might have exposed patients to the blood of other patients,” the statement said.

Officials said the unsafe practices had been in place for several years and may have put others at risk. About 40,000 patients who received injections of anesthesia at the clinic will be told of the potential exposure in letters arriving next week.

Anyone who received anesthesia at the clinic from March 2004 to Jan. 11 should be tested for the virus, along with hepatitis B and HIV, chief health officer Lawrence Sands said.

“We are recommending all patients during this time frame to get tested because we cannot determine which patients may have been exposed,” Sands said.

Hepatitis C is a chronic, potentially fatal virus that can cause liver ailments, including cancer and liver failure. The health district says it typically receives reports of two acute cases each year. Three of the six cases reported this year are acute, it said.

The virus may have been spread when clinic staff reused syringes and used a single dose of anesthesia medication on multiple patients, the district said.

Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada has ceased those practices, it said.

“All concerns noted by the health department were addressed immediately. We want to be sure that every patient who may have been exposed is informed and tested,” the center said in a statement.

To retain its state license and Medicare certification, the center faces increased on-site inspections and fines yet to be determined.'

[S-Bomb is dropped.]

Speaking of Queer As Folk, I never watched the US version because I don't have Showtime.

And I was partial to the UK version.

But I have started going through the series on DVD.

I must say, I don't really like any of the characters on the US version except Emmet and Michael's mom played by the awesome Sharon Gless.

But is interesting to see the story of Stuart/Brian and Vince/Michael continue as in the UK version they only did two series and tie up all the loose ends.

Oh, and the chiropractor Michael dates is totally hubba.

I got the new Janet, 'Discipline', and I like it, but she's not exactly reinventing the wheel.

She is still using the same vignettes between tracks.

Even though I like those songs, I don't really see a big chart topping hit on the album.
