Thanks Cobra for your positive comments, and Mike (ImEvil1) although I don't think you are actually evil
Sometime I may post more stories, as I remember them. Not all may be SSP stories but they are real and are a window into the job and the past, through the eyes of a kid (to me now someone in their early-mid 20s is a kid). So they may be interesting from that viewpoint. My wife usually never heard those stories as they happened, like the PCPer in 1980, and I never said anything about them at the time because to me it was just part of the job. There was only one, and I did have a serious talk with her about it, because I was first on the scene of a solo fatal crash about 2 am and the driver was decapitated. She had been a very attractive 21 yr old, from her license photo, and she was driving drunk. I was dating my future wife at the time and I knew she went out with her friends from time to time. I told her how upsetting that case was and if I ever found out she was drinking and driving our relationship was over. I did not want to get dispatched to a crash and find her there.
