From a reader... 
This in from a reader, who objects to my turning on FEMA like an attack dog.

I suggest you cool your heels just a bit on this story until further information comes out.

The author of the news story obviously had an agenda a parsec wide. Keep that in mind.

I assume the firefighters are being recruited for this work:

http://www.fema.gov/news/newsrelease.fema?id=18685

Why firefighters? Why trained professionals who can handle difficult situations? Heck, maybe we should just go down and pick a few girls out of the secretarial pool to fan out into a disaster area without power and drinking water, covered with diseased sludge and rubble, with armed gangs roaming around.

Maybe using civilian firefighters frees up some National Guard or military to do something else.

Maybe, as has happened before, the media isn't giving us the whole story. Have you seen what the flyers say? Maybe it's critical information on where to find food, shelter, or financial assistance.

To read the article, you'd think these guys were being sent out to sell encyclopedias in the suburbs of L.A.


I've seen the flyers, because my unit passed similar flyers out after Charley, Jeanne, and Frances. That's exactly what they had.

We didn't have to go through 8 hours of "training" in Atlanta before they gave us the flyers and let us on the streets, though.

We should not be insulting our firefighters by making them sit through a sex harrassment class during a crisis, hundreds of miles away from the fight. And I have not seen anyone on the ground complaining "Oh, we just have too many trained rescue personnel."

You need the first-aid and outreach presence on the streets. You can hand out the flyers when they get there.

Splash, out

Although I don't think you can use fasting as a diet or weight loss program, I do feel that it can be a great start to a proper weight loss diet and exercise program. I think it is definitely something that everyone should do at least once a year.
