There may be hope
When I was an auxilliary fireman, I got into the habit of listening to a radio scanner so that I'd know when to shut down the computer to clear the line for an incoming call, then run upstairs and put on leaving-the-house clothes. An astounding number of auxiliaries went to fires in indoor clothing, then complained of freezing. I never gave up the habit -- I like to know what the road conditions are, and the maintenance people at Grace let me know whether the sidewalks are safe. Last night I heard something rather nice. Some driver wanted the police to check the welfare of a fellow dressed all in black riding an unlit bike on a major road. It's "danger! danger!", but this time it's something that actually is dangerous. A pleasant change from "to keep you safe, I'm going to tie you to the railroad track." -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |
