Engine 8 and Ladder 2 took a heavy hit that Terrible Tuesday, as most firehouses in mid-town did. L-2's Captain was recovered with my MPO October 5th. It appeared as if they were carrying a woman and they were killed in the second collapse. I was a proby with them both and went to a few US Army...
Perhaps it should investigated why former President Bush allowed Saudi Nationals, which included members of the royal family who the FBI wanted to interview as to their involvement with the hijackers, to fly out of the country when all other air traffic in US airspace was grounded. Was it...
Roger Stone , the old guy with the hearing impaired wife whose home was raided in the dark morning hours by SWAT and filmed by CNN wrote a book" The Man Who Killed Kennedy", states that George H. W. Bush had some very curious actions on 11/22/1963. Perhaps former President Bush should call for...
When I was young and playing Army with my friends with our snow forts, I was puzzled, and remember distinctly my father telling me that snow would not stop bullets.

Did you completely finish and cleanup from the original 5:30 am call?
I know I've had to wait on my driver for a few early morning responses. Careful about shaking hands at that hour.
I think you can do the Hunter Safety Course on-line now? Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong. Get a hunting license. You're in the Catskills! Get a fishing license also. Make notes on your calendar what you can take when. Enjoy!

The 1.5 gal are alcohol free saw and weed-whacker mix.
Most are mil-spec jerry cans that I spray...
We used to, probably up until the 1980's. My company dance was always scheduled for the night before Election Day because Mom didn't have to get the kids out to school the morning after the dance.
