Re: The Castanet Gab-O-Rama
^^^^^^ sirens and lights on emergency vehicles are to warn drivers they have the right of way as they respond to an emergency.
At two in the morning with traffic pretty much 0, lights work well and a blast of a siren if an idiot does not pull over. If an emergency vehicle gets in an accident, they don't necessarily get preferential treatment.
I got pizzed when drivers responded at 3 am lights and siren when absolutely no one was on the road, especially if it was something like a beach fire or fireworks....

Oh yeah, four day visits with family members with four grandkids between four and nine. By day four we need oxygen.Lady tehMa wrote: ↑Aug 7th, 2023, 8:46 pm It is unusually humid.
Family has been and gone. Good to see sis and her family. Mom was glad to see us all. It was of necessity a short visit and I was okay with that.
I'm back at work tomorrow, but I'm feeling like a weight has been lifted.
I saw a meme come across my feed about sensory overload, and really, I experienced a fair bit of that this weekend. Putting name to it actually helped.
Does anyone else get sensory overload?
Lights aflashing? I'm okay with it. I have two kids, first responders, they have enough stories to fill a book just on the idiots in front of them.

Common sense is a totally lost form of thinking things through.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

Well, it’s obviously because their wardrobe isn’t up to snuff!
They just need to go shopping and poof! Problem solved.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Yes, they do spawn, but results stray from parental heritage

Board is jammed packed and rather slow, I’m leaving to give room for someone else.
Stay safe everyone

With the landfill on fire 100% of the population will be dead from cancer within 2 years so be it's all moot now.

Well aren't you a ray of smoky sunshine Glacier.
On a slightly different note, Hwy through the Fraser Canyon is closed due to a fire between Boston Bar and Lytton.
Lytton is on alert! What the? Is there anything left to burn in Lytton?
And I believe this has also shut down both rail lines, CNR & CPR. Another hit for the Port of Vancouver.
