best job ever

I wish I posted more anecdotal stories about my day as a san francisco 911 dispatcher . . .
911 for "Emergencies"
Best Call of the Day
I'll do my best to remember how she said it - - -
"hello, I'm taking a group of senior citizens to the zoo, and, well, I'm concerned about those chimpanzees . . . if we stay together as a group, they won't attack us, right?"

I had so many questions for this caller - but let her talk to a zoo employee and got back to work -
1. do you think that the primates roam free through the park?
2. is a lone senior at the zoo really more prone to chimp attacks than a group?
3. where did you ever hear of a chimp attacking a human anyway?
4. do you know you're calling 911?

BIG Surprise

Ezri will be a big sister for Halloween this year! When we ask her if it will be a girl or a boy, she says ,"boy" without hesitation. We have an ultrasound appointment next Friday - so we'll see if she is right.
