Enough of the Fire Crackers!

I'll be honest, I love the illegal fire crackers, pop bottle rockets and who can say no to a good old fashioned cherry bomb. They are great fun for the 4th of July, but what drives me crazy is the days following the 4th. The poor dog is a nervous wreck and I have work in the morning.
Thanks for reading.

BTW: Thanks Al for not completely crinkling up and throwing away the original. :)

No Fire Insurance - No Fire Fighter!

This is not a jab at firemen or the fire department. They do a great job. This is for the private fire fighters hired by insurance companies. (Extra special coverage, as long as you have paid for it.) Why would they help, if you were not a policy holder. Some how it does not seem right to me.

Call me kookey, but how can one man lead both the Police Department and the Fire Department. Will it really "save" tax payers money? What about the extra hours of miss communication between the divisions. Also, can the Fire Department trust that Butler has their best interests at heart. I am sure that he's a good man, but a discouraged department might not think so.
