It exposed him for the idiot that he was and he didn't get re-elected. He lost his political career over the crew going to the store.<br /><br />Observer - In the KBFPD, if there is not a store in a station's "first in". the company is allowed to make one trip a day to the closest store. Some crews might bring food in, it depends on the dietary wishes of the crew.<br /><br />Mrs. B - Be careful, the crew might be aware of when you shop as well.<br /><br />Pee Dee - Pfft indeed.<br /><br />Wallfisher - Approval noted and appreciated.<br /><br />Ann T. - You be careful too. Besides, the Peoples Grocery probably has better deals on cabbage, potatoes, caviar and vodka.<br /><br />Woody - Yes he is - at least he was when he wrote that article.<br /><br />911 ATR - Thanks, I was a little fired up when I pounded it out.<br /><br />Massgirl - Maybe AnnT is on to something, maybe he didn't pass the test years ago or maybe he was just looking to create an issue. Regardless, I don't think he succeeded.<br /><br />Thanks all for the comments. Sorry for the delay.Capt.

This is very true! How sad that I did...Mrs. Bunker,<br />This is very true! How sad that I didn't think of it first! I believe it's because our FD doesn't shop at my Soviet Grocery.<br /><br />We could of course press for 'in-district shopping' but the lines at the Soviet are so long, the aisles so narrow, and the parking nil. Obviously I need to get to other, more exciting venues--where one can see gentlemen who can handle catastrophe yet have a healthy appreciation of life's more darling peaches.<br /><br />Dear Captain Schmoe,<br />Perhaps Joey Sleeveless has been rebuffed by a peach or a peach-man. If so, I suspect it is because his oily rind masks a bitter pipkin soul. <br /><br />Ann T.Ann T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11128699035211561119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489648728739050434.post-15193009345352402712010-02-11T19:45:43.256-08:002010-02-11T19:45:43.256-08:00I'm not a reporter, or an investigator, I have...I'm not a reporter, or an investigator, I haven't done anything in the way of surveillance. Still, I know approximately when the neighborhood firemen do their grocery shopping. Sometimes by happy coincidence, that is when I'm doing my shopping.

I even saw them stop shopping and run out the door turn make a rescue run seems somebody had the misfortune to be in an accident and was trapped in the car. I for one consider that as dedication to the people who trust them to be there when they are needed. I also endorse and recommend this policy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948302004899464670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489648728739050434.post-2917714830407999732010-02-11T15:18:20.518-08:002010-02-11T15:18:20.518-08:00Capt Schmoe:
I laughed at this post. If the repo...Capt Schmoe:<br /><br />I laughed at this post. If the reporter took a minute to actually talk to a firefighter, he'd understand. I could see an ignorant story on KCMO pumper 42. "KCFD pumper goes all the way to Grandview for food." Well, that's the closest store, and Grandview is an embedded suburban city, just a mile (if that) from pumper 42's fire house. I hope our "Live Late Breaking Investigative" media knows better. What a bunch of morons.<br /><br />A question: If a fire company is stationed in an area, that for whatever reason, has no grocery stores, and has to go a little ways to procure food, what do they do? <br /><br />One wonders if they have considered complaining because our dynamically posted EMS crews might get a drink and use the restroom at the QuikTrip. <br /><br />The ObserverThe Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696168395133075354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489648728739050434.post-30190750199452365862010-02-11T13:56:01.353-08:002010-02-11T13:56:01.353-08:00Dear Captain Schmoe,

May he be called into his office to explain the long, restaurant-prepared five course lunches he takes on the clock. May said lunches give him gas so painful he thinks it is a heart attack. May he be struck with shame and self-loathing when Boston's EMS of the day very kindly tells him he is only full of s**t.<br /><br />Ann T.Ann T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11128699035211561119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489648728739050434.post-1376570306852354822010-02-11T06:50:16.674-08:002010-02-11T06:50:16.674-08:00well said!well said!911 and the Randomness..https://www.blogger.com/profile/15124774472813567041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489648728739050434.post-21494167862356752192010-02-11T06:13:47.366-08:002010-02-11T06:13:47.366-08:00Yeah, the press is full of fine upstanding gems. ...Yeah, the press is full of fine upstanding gems. pfffft.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083141849691624128noreply@blogger.com
