Yep, yer lookin' at a freshly-certified CPR expert. I'm also the proud owner of a "CPR Microshield." This handy dandy rubber/plastic contraption stores in a little 3"x2" flap attached to your keychain, which one is to rip open in the event of an emergency. It fits over a stranger's mouth and nose, allowing you to perform mouth-to-mouth on even the creepiest of characters. It even has a pair of rubber gloves inside! Well worth the $8 it cost me.
I would have welcomed one of those on some of the dates I had in college!
And Atlanta is enjoying day 2 of rain. Because most of Georgia has suffered from a drought the rain is welcomed. Being on water restriction really sucks. The problem with rain in Atlanta is the traffic. Most of the drivers in this city can't drive in perfect conditions. When you add water to Atlanta drivers you get INSTANT IDIOTS.
The photo was taken with my phone last night as I was leaving work (after the CPR class). It was raining and traffic was bumper-to-bumper. It took me an hour to get home, 8 miles away!
Which, of course, brings to mind a much-loved song....
When lonely days turn to lonely nights,
you take a trip to the city lights
and take the long way home,
take the long way home.
You never see what you wanna see,
forever playin’ to the gallery,
you take the long way home,
take the long way home.
Take The Long Way Home - Supertramp
And for those who recall my towel snafu of yesterday, I made damn sure to pack one today. :-)

Just read about your towel incident. 'Sounds like something that would happen to me. Congrats on being certified. I'm a certified person (not in CPR though) for what's it's worth - a lot of good it does me.
Congratz!! Now you can save your snortcoughsnort chick at work if ever she should choke to death! LOL :)
I wish we had a little rain here just melt our ever increasing snow piles. We had another bout of extra large, cotton ball sized snowflakes today :P
