    oh yea, one more thing, the article on Mercury was very well done and thought out. A typical response I have seen is the mom who catches the kids playing with the thermometer and then vacuums the house. buddies of mine with Region IX have shared some stories with me about how bad these calls can be. Your background in hazmat appears to be pretty well rounded. I am assuming that you might have an EPA background, Coast Guard or ? Does your department have a toxmedic program? I am trying to get one here in California and could use some help... Mike

    Hey Chief, You ok with the hurricane. Hope your doing well. Also, I just noted that you are with Houston FD. I had the opportunity years ago to visit your hazmat station, the one surrounded by barbed wire. Stopped there in my RV with my family and your guys treated my family like one of their own. Helped me fill my water tank and gave me a patch. You work with the best.
    TCSS,

    There is nothing more exhilarating than to go round and round in a 65000 pound class A.
