169. Wonder if that was a friend of mine

who said he knew he was going to survive when he got mad that his precious leather jacket had been cut off--totally ruined! Not worried at all about the bits of himself all over the highway.

I was doing case work for a fire, and whatever my question--"Tell me what happened…how were you affected…what have you lost"--this lady answered about her cats. "My cats were so scared, they ran out the window. They're so scared, they're still hiding. I'd just been to Price Chopper and bought the giant bag of Iams Cat Food, and they tell me I have to throw it all out." She wouldn't stay at the hotel we found for her because it wouldn't accept pets.

My agency didn't deal with pets, but some of us did stealth pet work: We chipped in and bought a big bag of Iams food and left it at the office for her.

I wish people would go back to hating on bankers and politicians rather than traumatized musicians.
