So another week has passed.....went down to the 911 center and sat in last night cause I was bored....was off of school friday and then monday. My fire pager broke so now I dont even know when we have alarms but I know I have missed a few. Cant get up with the chief so I said screw it and now im just not responding. Been pretty quiet and boring for the most part. Thats about all I got to say for now....Talk to ya later.

There are good people standing in the shadows with the proper knowhow…

Gathering the Facts....It Isn't Easy!!!

When a major news event such as Wednesday night's tragic fire in West Roxbury occurs, news reports, rumors and other information comes in by the minute often changing and conflicting. Those who are covering such events have an awesome responsibility not only to report the news in a timely fashion, but also to be as accurate as possible.



Quite often the media is criticized for misinformation or reporting what is believed to be fact at the time.…

Just an update on the fireants...

I just read that if you put corn meal next to fire ant piles, the ants carry the meal into the mound. When they eat it, they can't digest it and therefore the ants DIE!!!!!!!!!

I'm off to the store to do some ant slayin'!!!

News from Evansville

I have finally heard from Evansville today and I placed 95th. Not bad considering there were about 400 other people there.

But they're only taking 32 people...

Yup, I didnt make the cut again. I was really hoping that I would improve over last time where I placed 81st. Oh well though, I still got Indy.

Hey, look, Boston is hiring spring of '08......
