Apparently, it’s Saturday and sometimes we don’t get to have a day off.
Like we legit usually don’t get days off when we are deployed. That’s right, often times, when in deployed status, we don’t get much time off as our work is time sensitive and critical to our mission.
But tonight? I gotta take a few moments to feed my music Soul.
Yep, it’s truly winter when we have to start issuing these warnings. But being the first legit snowfall of the year, the northern Illinois peeps ought to take stock in the winter hazards and warnings from our friends at the National Weather Service Chicago.
Tracy with the…with the Honda? #Oops – because it’s usually the first big snowfall that catches some people off guard and they forget how unforgiving Mother Nature really is.
Trying not to sound like your father, with all this snow and ice stuff, it would be a great time for you to slow down and drive slower and safer please.
Despite a lack of free time, we as professionals need to continue to feed our brains, continue to read about past disasters, and learn from the gaps, and of course improve on the response to our ongoing situation.
Rats – I must find time to read more stuff!
So here’s a nice courtesy reminder of the streets: The Black Rat (aka Rattus rattus) is the species of the rat that carried #fleas infected with the bubonic plague.
The bubonic plague killed 75 million people worldwide from the 1300s to the 18th century.
While not exactly our current situation in 2020, the same dangers still exist and we need to be omnipresent of other impending dangers that could affect our communities we protect.
Wait, doesn’t everyone read on a Saturday night? Like you got anywhere else to go?!?!? #StayHome
So far, I’m only through a couple of chapters. Author seems to be lamenting on the Great Chicago Fire with O’Leary’s cow. I hope there’s more historical depth.
