HEALTH CARE

An example of California hospital signageImage via Wikipedia

HEALTH CARE


We should have a Health Care for all. There are people who work and have
been for years but their jobs don’t provide health insurance. I feel if
people could take there families to the doctor on a regular basis to be
treated preventively, then just going to emergency rooms racking up bills
this would save money. I think president Obama’s bill should pass because
it would also give people without health insurance peace of mind. I don’t
understand why the lawmaker’s are having such a hard time with this, maybe
there focusing on how much it’s going to cost instead of how much better
in the long run it would be.

OBAMA GATES CROWLEY

OBAMA GATES CROWLEY

Here we go, just because the President said the police were acting stupid
the police are acting so hurt. Hey OK, they have done many stupid things in
the past. Just because the President said it everyone is acting like this
the most pressing issue of the day, well it’s not! What about the Health
Care Plan, we need to be focusing on that. Gates was probably acting
disorderly and Crowley was right to arrest him. Well I think that the
three of them should sit down and have a beer and laugh about this whole
situation.

Air McNair who was 39 and was the Titian Quarterback he will be missed.
No one deserves to die like that. Some friends and I had a talk about how
he was sneaking around on his wife. Some of my friends think he deserves
what he got. I think if he would have been honest from the beginning he
would have been fine. The girl he was with was really too young for him.
I am sure they both had some control, and trust issues. It doesn’t
matter you can have all the money and all the materialistic things, but
you can’t buy someone’s heart or play with it. If you play with
someone’s heart you never know what they are capable of doing to you or
themselves. Look at what happen to Lisa Life Eye and Andre Rison she burned
down his house.

GOODBYE TO AN ICON, MICHAEL JACKSON.

GOODBYE TO AN ICON
MICHAEL JACKSON


Michael Jackson! Michael Jackson! What can I say about Michael Jackson? I remember Dec. 14, 1969 watching Ed Sullivan on TV, Ed Sullivan introduces
5 brothers from Gary Indian called the Jackson 5, I was hooked. “I want you back” 45 record was the first record I ever bought. I grew up with the Jackson 5. I had their pictures hung all over my walls. My first Jackson 5 concert was in 1979 at the Oakland Coliseum. Michael Jackson's name was talked about good and bad. He was an Icon and there will never be anyone like him ever! Idon’t know any entertainer that could bring the world together like he
did, but I hope that he won’t be the last. His legacy will live on through
the amazing music he made, all the people he helped and all the lives he
touched over the years. I want to thank you Michael Jackson for letting me
grow up with you even though we never met, Michael Joe Jackson R.I.P.

On The Road Again

Looking south above :en:Interstate 80, the Eas...Image via Wikipedia

From PeteCam4 (On the road again):

How many times have you noticed someone speed past you on the freeway going 30-40 mph over the limit...often cutting-off you and other

drivers, creating a very dangerous situation? I've seen it too many times. I always wish that I was a CHP, or that I could quickly memorize

the speed demon's drivers license and call it in to the CHP!.

This past Sunday morning It happened again, and I finally acted on it! I was in light traffic heading East on Oregon Expressway in Palo Alto

in a 40mph zone. Suddenly this airport shuttle bus blew past me on the right and cut in front of me.(Long enough for me to read the bus's

company phone number.) The bus then sped off at 70-75mph...cutting-off another car or two in route to Hwy 101.

What makes this worse is that I noticed eight or more passengers in the bus, and the driver was STILL grossly wreckless and dangerous! As

a passenger, commercial or private...I'd rather miss a flight than lose life or limb. Whatever the case, this driver needs to be stopped, or at

least slowed down.

So, I called the incident in to his company manager. Now it's up to them. If you notice incredibly dangerous or obviously drunk drivers out

there...do something about it if you can. I feel a lot better now, knowing that I did.

Stay road-safe out there.

Sincerely...PeteCam4

Why All The Train Tragedies


What's with the recent tragedies involving local transit trains? In the past twelve days two people have been hit and killed in VTA LightRail accidents, and both deaths occurred within two blocks of one another.(Southwest Expwy and Bascom//and Southwest Expwy and Fruitdale). Ten days previous to this, at least three more pedestrians were run down by AMTRAK trains forther North in the Bay area.
It wouldn't seem that EASY to get hit and killed by a train..., unless alchohol, drugs, suicide, or insanity were involved. One or more of these examples may have been present, however...is it also possible our local mass transit could be made SAFER??? Could more safety measures or devices be built at or near rail stops and stations...where most accidents occur? Just a thought!
Perhaps more safety measures are also needed nationally! The terrible collision of two transit trains in Washington DC this week killed at least nine people. Too many deaths seem to be occuring during what is supposed to be the safest way to travel. Hopefully, the powers that be (NTSB and others) will take stock...and take action to make train travel safer for passengers AND, for pedestrians.
Finally, motorists should also remain cautious and respectful of railway intersections. I've noticed people running past the blinking red light a few too many times lately. Why take any kind of chance around trains? Perhaps the laws for regular autos, should be similiar to the precautions buses always take. (Making that extra STOP at the tracks) Let's all get BACK ON TRACK.
Thanks...and be safe....

CHP Saving Lives in SAN JOSE

California Highway PatrolImage via Wikipedia

Saturday June 6th in San Jose Ca. while stopping for a break near southbound Highway 87 off ramp to Capitol Expressway I witness acts of heroism by the California Highway Patrol. A blue pickup truck came to a stop on the shoulder of the off ramp with its horn blowing to get the attention of a parked CHP officer. It appeared the driver was experiencing a heart attack. It looked a passenger in the car assisted in bring the vehicle to a stop and the driver was slumped over the wheel. A female officer had the passenger step back while she checked out the situation and radioed for help. Seconds later two other officers arrived and carefully dragged the driver from the truck and administered cpr. They pushed on the mans chest for some time. It didn't look good. Desperately they continued both taking turns. They also talked to the man trying to revive the man with words. Suddenly I over heard "he’s breathing". Fire and an ambulance then arrived and paramedics began to work on the man. I noticed that the man was still in trouble because more cpr was used. Suddenly a man approached me and said,"It dosen't look good". "Maybe we should pray". Looking around I noticed other people checking out the incident. All with much concern. He was finally stabilized and moved to the ambulance for transport. This incident was not on the local TV news but I was able to video tape part of this amazing event. Hats off to the Highway Patrol, the unsung heroes just doing there job on our roadways.
