Now that we’re getting some consistently-good Spring weather, I’m being faced with an obligation that I can’t put off much longer. It’s called “interior decorating,” or in other words: painting. It should have been done long before this, but I am never anxious to spend hours at a time with all that crap. Especially the part where I have to clean the rollers.
What makes this one particularly avoidable is that this time the ceilings have to be done, too. And I detest painting ceilings. I would rather eat rutabaga’s than paint ceilings. And all those drop-cloths and stuff. Yakkk!!!
I’m safe for the rest of this week, though. I haven’t even picked out the colors yet, let alone buying the paint.

A couple of new fire/rescue-related websites have come to our attention that some of you might find interesting. One of them is a new blog that has just started up. Pat Coughlin works for the International Code Council and wants to open a dialogue on innovative ways to address staffing issues and he starts off with suggestions on how Public Service programs can be effectively utilized. Check out The Squad Room HERE and see what you think.
The other new site is an online market for “Defibrillating Blends of Beans,” a choice of powerful coffee blends being offered by Mike Adams, a flight paramedic who recognizes that coffee is the heartbeat of first-responders everywhere. He wants to improve the “coffee experience” in ER’s and firestations everywhere. So check out the offerings at Java Medic.

Dumb and Dumber. And somehow they end up going to college. For a while, anyway. First thing in the morning I always check STATter911′s overnight news and today there seems to be a new theme starting. It has to do with college students neglecting their studies in favor of committing fire pranks. When you refill the cup and feel you’re ready for a head-shaker, read the stories HERE and HERE.
First, let’s get this equipment checked out. I see that we need more coffee, so I’ll start a fresh pot.
