Sadiethewonderdog has just been indicted in the embezzlement case that rocked the snocone world. While her where bouts at this time remain unknown investigators are working on the case. For those who have been under a rock and do not follow the snocone world a brief synopsis is presented ; Approximately 18 months ago Sadie disappeared along with all the assets and ice. from snocone shack inc , a budd company. This placed the once thriving snocone shack in a perilous position , no cash and no ice , competitors immediately began to try to position themselves to monopolize the business.
A worldwide dog hunt began and Interpol was notified. A tip line was set up and her description was distributed to all law enforcement agencies. A sizable reward was offered .
Thousands of tips were received the more improbable ones were weeded out and the more reasonable leads were pursued. One of the most promising leads cost several months investigation and much hard work. However it turned out that Sadie was not living with Elvis at area 51 (however we did get some new recordings).
Satelite imagery confirmed that there were large pieces of ice being transported from the arctic to Antarctica there the ice seemed to disappear. An undercover investigator was placed among the penguins there after hearing from biologist of penguins with sticky blue lips. This operative was able to ascertain that clandestine snocone shacks were being set up and after a few weeks dismantled also a large number of used snocone cups were discovered in a remote area in Antarctica. However the trail grew cold here.
However other investigators began noticing unusual movement in the futures markets of cheap snocone syrup. As these were looked at more closely it was discovered the Bilderburg group was involved It was later discovered that an unknown dog was trying to take over this group. However a loyalist members of this group revolted against this newcomer forcing her to flee.Here the case grows murky but it seems that on a trip to North Korea Dennis Rodman was accompanied by a dog wearing sunglasses , a large hat and a brown trench coat. Since Rodman was involved no one thought this was unusual however when Rodman returned the dog stayed behind.
Recently ,however the world snocone market has been flooded with cheap imitation snocones, appear to be made in North Korea. investigators are attempting to confirm this.However there is no extradition process North Korea.
Consumers should check every snocone before purchase.
We will keep you up to date as they become available.

Random thoughts on why we can't get along
It is around 1:00 am And sleep is a stranger.I don't know why I write these blogs none are ever read maybe it Is a way to clarify my own feelings so that I know myself better.
What is the job of OEM ? I think if it is not to get every one playing on the same team it is maybe to get them playing the same game and using similar rules. The state wants to run the system from Little Rock down the locals think it should be run from the county up.Little Rock wants to be there for the cameras and the locals just want the cameras some where out of the way so they can do their job
Will the system ever work ? Nope not with out respect for the locals from the big dogs in Little Rock.

I AM an ambulance driver
There is a hilarious EMS blog called "I am not the ambulance driver" it is one of the funniest,saddest,educational blogs about EMS. The title I would assume comes from patients always calling medics and EMT s ambulance drivers. I have allways tried to avoid the term but today I told A patient "I am your driver".Then I realized what I had said and begin to think about it. I am the ambulance driver and I am proud of it .I am responsible for helping my medic,and getting you safely to the hospital. This isn't always as simple as it seems today with the patient I drove for miles behind a person at 45 mph, then had to get through an accident,since we had a patient we couldn't stop and I knew another ambulance was 45 seconds behind me.Then I had to avoid the person who pulled out in front of me and drove 20 mph for 100 yards before turning into a restaurant. Add to that the people who were stopped at the green light,the truck that pulled into the middle turn lane and drove there for a mile or more. I helped unload you made the cot and shook your hand and wished you the best.
I am an ambulance driver but you didn't realize I am also the person who works in Emergency Management,helping you when ever you are in trouble.I am the same person who spoke to you at work about building a 72 hour preparedness kit. I am the same person who trains medical first responders to try and keep you alive until an Advanced Life Support Ambulance can get to you. I am the same person who works out how a search should be conducted for a missing person in your community or devolpes where you should evacuate to in the event of a flood or hazardous materials accident. I am the same person who has to go and beg money to keep your local fire department operating .
I have been the person that fire crews looked to for directions when a wildfire threatened your home. I was the person who had to step up and say this is what we are going to do to recover a body from an industrial collapse, and the man who took the criticism and responsibility for searching the bad terrain for victims of a flood. I am the person who has looked on 70 deaths and cried for those who had died and those who had lived. I am the same person who has taken a baby and done cpr because I wanted the baby to live even though my mine said it was too late. I am the ambulance driver who went in and prayed with the grieving mother whose child had just died.
Even though the medics, nurses, and patients may laugh I am pretty damn proud to be just the ambulance driver.

The great thing about having your own blog is you get to say what you want. There will be consequences of course, but that is an universal truth in life.
Every since I was a little kid I have wanted to work in public service and over the years I have been blessed to be able to do so both as a volunteer and as a paid person. Along the way I've learned a few lessons some pleasant and some that hurt to learn.
I have learned that common courtesy is returned most of the time.
I have learned to block out distractions and do my job even if the person I was dealing with was unpleasant.
I have learned that the person who makes a mistake usually feels worse than anyone about it , I don't need to beat them up over it.
I have learned we all make mistakes,we need to admit them and move on.
I have learned that sometimes trying to help someone only makes them mad.
I have learned that I need to keep my mouth shut more.
I have learned that your skills are not as important as the people you know.
I have learned that most people do not appreciate what you do.
I have learned that most people can not do the jobs we do in public service.
I have learned that just because they can't do your job doesn't stop people from criticizing you.
I have learned that most policies and procedures are made by full time paid people who can go to meetings in the middle of the week. This leaves the volunteer and more rural areas with out any representation and the policies and procedures won't work in more rural areas.
I have learned that the higher up you go in organization the less street experience and common sense is found.
I have learned that turf wars in public service are harmful to the public we are supposed to serve.

Back to Business
I am working in EMS again and have the time to occasionally blog again.This past week I had the opportunity to work with Franklin county Emergency management at the Wakarusa music festival. I'm told this is the largest festival in Arkansas, it is certainly the busiest behind the scenes, I found myself bounced between command staff , swift-water rescue,,carryout team and communications and I loved it.Maybe we all burn out at times and I needed the last couple of years away from EMS.
I am thankful to God that the cancer is gone and I am back to myself.
