Hey Everybody!!!!!!! Well I know that I haven't written in a while but I have been really really busy. We had a benefit pancake breakfast to raise money for the families of the officers that were shot. The breakfast exceeded our expectations. We raises almost 8,000 dollars. It was awesome. There were literally people lined up around the building. It was a great display of community support for the officers and their families.

We haven't had a lot of runs lately. I guess that is a good thing. The few runs we have had all ended well. Except for a lady who refused treatment for her toddler son when they had been in a car accident and he hit his head because the car seat wasn't properly installed. The kid had a largecontusion mid-line forehead, nose bleed, and complained of neck pain. Maybe it was nothing, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Stupid people piss me off. Anyhow...... I taught extrication for the monday night training. It went really well. Everone enjoyed the presentation. next monday we are going to be cutting on some cars. we are going to go over some basic technique and some new ideas.

I have decided to train for a half marathon in january or early february. I know that is a while off but I am going to start training now. I can do a half in early 2008 and hopefully work up to a full by the end of 2008.

Also I have a new tattoo. It goes from shoulder to the other and it says " Sic Alius May Ago"
it means - So Others May Live. It is why we (firefighters) do what we do. Anyway i will post some pics soon.
Be Safe. TTFN!!
