Price of Procrastination

I left doing the FTP assignment until after work last night. Of course that would also be the night my internet decides to give out on me. After two hours of trying I finally cracked and gave up. That's what I get for waiting. Hopefully this will teach me a lesson. Get done today what I could leave for tomorrow. Technology is never 100% reliable so either get things done early or have a backup plan. FTP seems useful, especially if you will be doing things in different locations; however, I found it to be a bit inconvenient. I am using Explorer 7 so I had several sets to go through in order to get to the location and it was a bit confusing. I think I would prefer to use Google Docs instead when possible.

Anyway, attached is my response to Dale's Cone. All I have to say right now is that it really makes you think about the information you are given. I seemed to be more impacted by the fact that this information has been passed on over the years with no substantiating sources to back it up.

On another note, today was quite a day. I am visiting my parents this weekend so my mom and I were out and about this morning when, on our way home, we came upon this car that had flipped on it's roof less than a minute before. I immediately threw the car in park and jumped out. A woman came running out of the house across the street and yelled that she just called 911 and that there was someone still in the car. I ran over and found the woman laying on the roof of the car with her leg pinned between the steering wheel and door. I laid there on the street talking to her while a gentleman who pulled up behind us opened the drivers side door and got her leg out. (He was an off duty firefighter so he knew what he was doing, don't worry) Emergency services arrived only minutes later and the woman was fine. I was high on adrenaline for hours later, didn't even realize that I had cut my legs and hands from laying on the glass from the windows. I am just very thankful that she was okay and that there were so many wonderful people there to warn other drivers before they came flying around the turn and hitting the car on it's roof. In a way it seemed like a scene from a movie. Everyone just jumped into action and did what needed to be done in order to ensure the best outcome.
