911 International Steeps

I ran into Michael on a way back home from somewhere foreign - although it didn't feel like Canada - it was supposed to have been cause this is where he was originally from... it was a bittersweet trip for him... he was returning to his girlfriend/fiance that took him to live somewhere else.  We chatted about that - and something about a Mad Magazine subscription having had paid for something and he felt that meant he would be locked into a subscription.  My mom had previously been with me on this trip but we had somehow gotten separated.

We were on a huge shuttle bus and at one point I kept having thoughts that we were going to slide off the mountain side... especially when we had to turn on a very narrow road that had steep fall offs on either side.

A woman had to call into 911 to report trouble with her sickly son... the husband was the one that took the call - though it didn't seem like an emergency center she called in to.. the husband was set up in like a Radio Jockey  - she kept trying to explain the situation - neither of them realizing who the other was but he was having trouble hearing her with his equipment set up... he swung the mic out and back and at one point it dawned on him.. he was hearing about his own son.
