The Young and the Old

This morning I was grateful I had my radio on and happened to hear about a fire which had traffic backed up on the route I normally take so I detoured. On the way home this afternoon thinking that the fire would have long since been dealt with I traveled down my regular route. I was delayed and it was slow going, here's what I came across...


 I was saddened to see this, there was an AA room upstairs where there were plenty of meetings, I'd guess at least 15-20 different ones every week. I used to go occasionally to a Friday night meeting and it was fantastic, I could feel the spirituality in this room. Now there's no more meetings here but the one good thing about AA is that it won't go away, this isn't the only building in town and there's so many other meetings in various places all over this city to attend. I'm sure that the people who ran this one will find a new spot, after all the found a new place when the last one burnt down about 15 years ago. Out with the old in with the new... speaking of which I noticed something today. Are firefighters getting younger or am I getting older?


 The 3 fellas in the yellow all look like they could be my sons! YIKES.  All kidding aside, thank God for firefighters who place their lives at risk more than I think most people realize. Hats off guys, you do amazing work!
