At least the city "fathers" were able to be convinced to allow the escort. The $50 was probably to cover the cost of fuel for the truck. You wouldn't want the city to give anything away for free, would you? Another thought - in these days of incr...

This is a sad example of what we all deal with on a regular basis. Especially those of us that are associated with a municipality. The sad truth of the matter is that if this is like my department, the city veiws them as an afterthought. They expe...

As previously stated, we don't know if this is the whole story. I would really hope not. This is rediculous to say the least. This man dedicated 50+ yrs. of his life to this dept. and the leadership wants to charge the family a dollar for every ye...

A poem I wrote

I may not look it,but I am a superhero. There are many like me that are from all over this nation. We are in a sense,the gaurdians of all who are around us. We don't have super powers,though sometimes we wish we had. We don't wear tights, and our capes are not flat and shiny, nor do they wave in the wind and we cannot fly. They are strapped to our backs, and they help keep us alive. I wear baggy,brown pants, and a jacket to match. I have a hard black helmet that I use to keep me from harm. I hav… Continue

Well Ben, I think you are wrong. Again. ...is what I would say if I was a stubborn jackass. However, in closer inspection, which may indeed speak of a poor size-up, I have found fire extending to the cockloft area, possibly at least, but probably...
