The purpose of life is not to show up at the end quietly in a well preserved body, but to come in sliding sideways saying "Holy Crap What A Ride!"

Posted on July 29, 2008 at 3:13pm 16 Comments

It is the information I have been receiving over the past weeks which motivates me to comment today regarding the use – or, more importantly, the lack of use — of seatbelts. It is a tragedy when we lose a firefighter to a… Continue

I have decided to keep a rolling list of injuries due to "NOT" wearing a seatbelt. Maybe one day we'll Learn.

Posted on April 4, 2008 at 10:30pm 8 Comments

OK, so maybe we need a little more enlighting on this subject since it is still happening, people we need to use our heads here, and for godsake take two seconds to "CLICK IT"! This is where I will post bad things that happen for not wearing a seatbelt. These post are mainly from "The Secretlist "@ Firefighterclosecalls.com.
