Why do I do it…..Morels??
As I sit here early this morning, checked the weather, web and window, looked at the calendar, surfed the net for the latest sighting report….everything points to now is the time, at least in this neck of the woods.

The volunteer in and volunteer out theory is in use too much these days.. that thought process has helped with already declining memberships. If you can get them through FF I, then kiss the ground and encourage FF II, most of the time, the prestige of having FF II, will get them to take it.. thanks again.. bud.. .. Tom

- I don't know Trainer, if both are not tied together... As you know when your are trying to sell "Fire Fighting" to your customer. As you pass on the "basic requirements" needed and then add on all the "required requirements" .. you can see the look in their face of declined interest. I don't believe in the "Apathy" senario , I believe in, we have in the fire service have made this job harder than it needs to be. Has the fire really changed that much in your 20 + years ?

- The first time that I shoveled snow at Dorothy's was the night of Merrill's calling hours. Just thought it was the neighborly thing to do. I decided to continue doing her sidewalk and drive. It's good exercise. I don't want her to have to pay for snow removal or having her lawn mowed. Loretta takes care of the lawn.
Don't know who is doing Barb's snow. She can afford to have you do it.
Though Barb is a good Republican, I am not moving her snow.
I don't want to mess with small business. They are an important voting block.
Have you considered advertising?
Come over; we'll make snow angels.
Dress warm.
