Nothing beats coffee

Jackson Hole, WY. 1971.

I’ll be in Jackson Hole all this week. Some local history:

Bill Briggs was the first to ski down the Grand Teton in Wyoming. This photo shows his ski tracks from that first descent made in 1971.

warning: long story.

I’m a paramedic, and I used to work for this corporate ambulance company. In the city in which I worked, my partner and I staffed one of 3 ambulances. The majority of the people I worked with were cool, but there was one girl, also a paramedic, who was just awful. We shall call her Bertha. Besides being a disgusting person, Bertha had a repulsive personality and dog shit paramedic skills. I routinely heard stories about how she was derogatory and even abusive toward her partners, and how many people refused to work with her because they didn’t want their names associated with her patient care reports. Bertha was a compulsive liar and also seemed to think she was everyone’s supervisor. Of the 3 ambulances, she worked on #1, and I worked on #3 - opposite sides of town. So I fortunately didn’t have to cross paths with her often.
