    Hi Tim, Welcome to the site, this is new to me as well, and I am learning my way around. 2 questions, where did you get get the cool shrek pic? And I have heard of Rio Grande, but exactly where are you located. I am from the northeast Ohio region, south of Youngstown, east of Canton/Akron on the Ohio PA border and the Ohio River.

    My daughter Jenny, who is also a FF, is sort of a Shrek nut, she'll get a kick out of this pic. My wife Ann is a Radio Dispatcher for the Salem PD which is also one of five of our County's 911 PSAP's. Got a good idea now of your location. Stay Safe!
