Before I made my final big decision to move to the downtown Mill Valley Frank Howard Allen office, I went to see how it felt to be there. What's not to like? Beautiful historic old building with window seats nestled beneath small paned windows. Sun streaming through all day, friendly desk neighbors, quaint location, or as Realtors like to say, "quintessential" Mill Valley. I'm in!
While I was smiling about my good fortune, I heard a noise. A kid crying? Dog howling? Mother yelling?
I went outside to see what it was, and there I found a woman sprawled face down on the ground! When I asked her what happened she said that she was rushing with her puppy to her hair appointment and fell while running down the driveway. Jaylina came out from her clothing consignment store next door and I asked her to bring a pillow for the woman's head. Then I asked her if she wanted me to call 911 and she said, "No, I really hurt my ankle but I don't want to go to the hospital." So I said," Let's call the paramedics! Usually at least 4 or 5 really hot, I mean qualified, young men show up to help."
Lo and behold, I was right. They were really helpful! They were however, afraid to go near her growling puppy, so after zipping him in a baby's sling around her neck, they attended to her injury. After about ten minutes she and her puppy hobbled off down the street. The EMT's may have saved the day, but I saved her hair appointment!
