Went to the grand opening of a music studio of a friend from HS, ER; was looking forward to catching up with him, though we have very little in common now. I had known through his posts at a certain social networking website that he's taken some lumps in life. Today I found out that he's an alcoholic, and his friends who were concerned about his condition were pressing for an ambulance to be called since he had passed out again did not seem responsive. The paramedics came and took him to the county hospital for observation and evaluation (I am guessing). Kyrie eleison.

Some observations - the two teams of FD paramedics each had two tall men and one short woman (5'4" or so). The local PD also came, 3 male officers, all rather tall. (6'0 or taller.) Ethnicity? All white, except for one of the female paramedics, who might have been mixed Asian.
