I left work early today, but it was a “team building exercise” I bailed out of. I had to get home to do some work on the house before the painters showed up. I bought a circular saw that was delivered today and was thinking I might do something on the room being painted, but I ended up in the basement using all sorts of other tools but not the circular saw.

We were out a while and on the way home there was a rollover accident two blocks from my house. Somehow, on a residential street with traffic calming islands next to a park and a block from an elementary school, someone flipped their car on their side and deployed their airbags. I saw a hand hanging in the middle of the car, which was an eerie sight.<\/p>\n
I got home and waited to see if there were any emergency vehicles approaching before I called 911. I ended up calling when I thought it was taking too long to hear sirens, but they were on their way.<\/p>\n
