No photos here, just ponderings. With the news that someone has driven into the ER entrance of St. Alexius tonight, it bears mention that this isn’t the first time someone parked a vehicle inside the east entrance of one of Bismarck’s hospitals. An elderly lady turned Medcenter One’s coffee shop into a drive-thru a couple of years ago. Coincidence? You be the judge.

One interesting note: according to the Bismarck Tribune story, the driver of the vehicle lodged in the ER of St. Alexius was “arrested for driving under the influence of prescription drugs and taken to Medcenter One…” Apparently St. A’s must have been too busy dealing with a black S-10 in their emergency room to treat the guy.

Life sure is interesting, ain’t it? It’s going to be rather unpleasant in a few hours too, for this guy at least. I’ve stayed up way too late reading the last 176 pages of a Ted Bell novel and nursing a sore throat with medication and chicken soup. Not a good way to prepare for an early morning Thursday. I’d better get some rest, so I don’t doze off and drive into a building or something. We don’t have any untouched hospitals now, so perhaps I’d have to settle for a clinic…
