• Time to be Vigilant

  I was reminded again the other evening of the need for all emergency response people to remain vigilant when they are operating at the scene of an emergency. As is my way, I was out on the front porch enjoying a mild summer’s evening, along with one of my favorite cigars, when the pager on my belt came to life, informing me of an emergency call for the Adelphia Fire Company.

• A Cross by the Side of the Road

  During a couple of really interesting days, I have spent a great deal of time traveling south on interstate 95.

I had a great first day making terrific time from Adelphia to Wilson, North Carolina.
