Yesterday was the Big Event that I look forward to every year:  The season’s first BLT’s!  I’m talking about the genuine sandwich that has fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes on it.  Ahhhh, nothing says “Summer” any better than that.

Lettuce is still a little expensive right now, but sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and pay the price.  If anybody’s wondering, I only use the Oscar Mayer Thick Cut bacon.  That’s the same brand that Cracker Barrel uses and people wait in line to eat there.

A lot of our readers are IAFF members, and many non-members like to watch what’s going on with the labor front as well.  One of our readers, Dave S., passed along a good suggestion for you folks who like to follow this activity.  He thought it would be helpful to make you aware of a reference website that Firegeezer uses on occasions when I need to check up on one of the Locals.

There is a very good, comprehensive website that lists all the IAFF locals in a quick-reference format.  It’s called, surprisingly enough, IAFF Locals Online and they can be found at:  http://www.iafflocals.net/ 

The webpage is sorted out into two columns, one of them lists all the Locals in numerical order and the other lists them alphabetically by state.  All of the locals that have a website are underlined and linked so that you can click right over to their site.  There is a separate page for the Canadian Locals that is laid out the same way.

Click around some of the sites and, who knows, maybe you can get some good ideas on how to improve your own Local’s website.

But first let’s click around to the apparatus bay and get this equipment checked out.  I’ll make some more coffee.  How about we have some BLT’s for lunch today?
