There was quite a swing of good news and bad news as I drove in to work this morning. I heard on the radio that a
FedEx driver had been killed south of Larkspur when a Toyota hit it and forced it to roll over close to the Greenland exit on SB I-25. Since the KOA chopper was in the area for the crash, they were close enough to witness a dog that had fallen through the ice in a Perry Park lake. That is the subdivision where my boss lives. I passed the Larkspur firefighters leaving the scene on my way to work. I watched the first video below when I got to work and even though I knew that they had rescued the dog, I was bawling. That makes two days in a row of crying like a baby. Yesterday, I was watching Super Bowl commercials while I ate lunch and the one with the Budweiser Clydesdale foal (
Clydesdale American Dream) had me turning on the waterworks.
Here's videos of the dog rescue from KCNC:

I've been hearing about this the last few days, so I'm posting it to remind myself to do it.
From the
9News website:
Emergency room doctors and police are increasingly talking about 'ICE numbers'. The acronym stands for 'In Case of Emergency'.
They're encouraging all cell phone users to note certain numbers in their address books as ICE numbers, or people to contact in the event of an emergency.
With 192 million Americans carrying cell phones, they invariably turn up whenever there's a serious accident or health emergency in which someone needs immediate medical care. Paramedics, emergency room physicians, coroners and police are increasingly using cell phones of victims to help identify people or notify family members of emergencies.
Most digital cell phones have an address book feature, where names of frequent contacts can be listed by name and number. Including the word 'ICE' before the names of close relatives will quickly direct rescue workers to the most appropriate family member or friend to call in case of an emergency. Some doctors say the use of ICE numbers can actually save lives by speeding up medical care.
Some frequent users of the Internet have gotten an e-mail saying that ICE numbers can actually allow hackers easier access to cell phones. But that claim is a hoax. Hackers cannot gain access to cell phones through such means.

I just read that Adobe (Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator, etc.) purchased Macromedia (Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, etc.) for
$3.4 Billion.
By combining our development, authoring and collaboration software - along with the complementary functionality of Adobe PDF documents and Macromedia Flash - Adobe has the opportunity to bring this vision to life with an industry-defining technology platform.
Wow.
