EMS in Hugo

On Saturday the local hospital had their first annual "EMS Appreciation Day". I drove the ambulance and the assistant fire chief drove our rescue truck down to be judged for a little contest they had. We didn't win anything but, James, my son, got a snazzy "Flight for Life" hat for helping with drawing numbers for door prizes. Most of our Ambulance crew was out on patrol for the bike race that was in town. Once a year a bunch of bike riders do a huge ride from here to Karval on 109 then over to south 71 up to 2W back to Hugo. Seems like a awful lot of riding to end up back where you started and just to get sweaty. I helped out last year, some of those wrecks can be pretty nasty, it's good to have an ambulance close by. We just kinda shadow them throughout the day. Not much else going on in the world of EMS lately, never say the "Q" word, it always back fires on you and gets busier than heck!!!! Love and Peace.
