Miscellaneous mentions

Haven’t mentioned these in a while; slow day so far, so here goes.

-When you hear sirens and want to know what’s up, the fire department’s live 911 page is the place to go.

-We’ve added several more blogs in the past week to our Other Blogs in WS page. (58 total and counting.) We’ll reorganize it alphabetically someday soon, but in any format, it’s a fun list to check if you’ve got web-wandering time on your hands.

Wadda you kinow, its real accurate. I heard sirens screaming past my condo this morning and checked out this webpage and sure enough, there was a call for an emergancy response unit at 8.43 am. I got to hand it to them boy they get busy as the day motors on.
