Playing Firefighter

On March 21, 2005, I got to spend an afternoon with the Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue in Washington County, Oregon. For about three hours, I went through various fire and rescue training drills with the firefighters, including cutting up a car to rescue a car accident victim, climbing a tower to put out a fire, and operating the fire truck's ladder. All very exciting.

 

 

 

 

 

Storm of the Winter?

It was suppose to be the biggest storm of the winter for Washington, DC. But only a few flakes fell and we ended up with perhaps less than three inches of very wet snow. This photo is the view from my back patio.

This photo was takenduring the fall of 2004 when it was pleasant to dine outdoor. It's now March 2005 and we're forecasting another 10 days of on and off snow and sleet. I hope for Spring to arrive soon.
