Death by a thousand cuts philosophy --- they take a crumb, then a slice, then the whole thing & soon we're left with an empty plate, no crumbs and a penalty for not having a spare cake ready....

3 hours daily, walking thru their districts w/o any staff [security] & get to know the people who actually reside there...might see some changes quickly depending on situations at hand....

at the risk of causing a reoccurrence of P.T.B[ack].D - may I present cot #30, though i think i may have used a holdover #21 in my booter days... LOL 😆 Ambulance Cots: Yesterday to Today (Ferno) – EMS Museum

That is pure talent --- best i could get with the Federal was the Dog bark between #1 wail/#2 yelp... position #3, the French W**** actually did get a few people's attention...

If the diaphragm fails, replace with x-ray film (un-named co worker did that on a Collins ambulance trumpet airhorn).

Can you swap out or supplement your current horn with a Federal Q system from your work ride???

In my formative years In life, it was instilled one way or the other - to be respectful to others & your elders. To treat others as you would want to be treated. I've used the word Sir or Ma'am to people both half my age and twice my age both in public service and private life. Courtesy that was commonplace is now a rarity. Holding the door open or opening a car door is almost gone in society. Had to 'suggest' to some people to let a family use the elevator first because the couple had a special needs child in a wheelchair, bags and another toddler in tow. You would have thought I told them to go take the stairs instead of waiting for the next elevator (which showed up almost as soon as the doors closed on the family).

They probably have to 'Google' the word to figure out what it means...

Your comment about the grocery reminds me of pulling into the parking lot of our local store and seeing a lifted pickup that you'd need a small ladder to get into the cab, sat there for a moment and watched a spry young woman climb up into the cab w/o difficulty- permanent handicap placard hanging on the rear view mirror. Another is a lack of respect and patience for handicapped people. These impatient people dont realize it could be them one day or one second later.

Take time to watch "October Sky"

Lead by example - I have an MCPO to thank for instilling that trait in me.

Very good parade, the difference in Army uniforms since 1775 was represented well & all of the different regiments/divisions. I would have liked to have seen more of the units and army bands w/o the constant commentary. Crowd seemed sparse in areas but a patriotic crowd non the less. Last parade that I took part in was Veteran's Day 1987 in service dress blues down to the spitshine oxfords (never liked the corframs) - some people were whining about the heat and winter blues in Az. That came to an abrupt stop when our Master Chief told us to STFU & pointed out a WW1 vet in his full wool uniform marching the entire parade route until he got to the reviewing stand and then took the salute of the marching units behind him at the request of the officials present.

Have to echo the comments above!!!!! Going to work on those hammers this weekend!!!
