So, last night, at about 9:30 I get a call.  We did a crew swap on an air ambulance trip.  The original crew timed out and couldn’t finish the trip.  This little jaunt started in Brownsville, TX and ended... Yeap, you guessed it, Thompson, Manitoba... Canada.  Go ahead, I’ll wait while you try to find it on the map.  It’s there, due north from Winnepeg.  Okay, draw a line north along the Minnesota, North Dakota border.  You’ll pass over Winnepeg, inbetween a couple of long lakes and there it is, Thompson.  Very very very much in the middle of nowhere.  Or about 400 miles north of Winnepeg.  It was one of those deals where if we’d landed "off airport" they wouldn’t have found our bodies till summer if at all.  Of course we had bupkiss for survival gear.  I got home this morning around 9am and woke up around 6pm.  Of course I’m gonna be awake all night.
