Harris County EOC - Texas

https://twitter.com/KHOU/status/1365414177892884485

visited by Biden and Lina Hidalgo

I am assuming that is different than the Houston EOC - maybe each city
in Harris County has an EOC - and the county has an EOC also

if I had to guess - I would guess that half of the county (area wise)
is served by the county EOC - the ship channel area and the northern
suburbs

LaGrande OR - 4 minutes

http://www.cityoflagrande.org/muraProjects/muraLAG/lagcity/index.cfm/city-offices/fire-department/fire-suppression/fire-suppression/

duty crew responds within 4 minutes with 1 engine and 1 ambulance

off duty paid people bring 2nd engine and maybe tower quint

volunteers go direct to scene

space comms - iss - nasa

"i apologize, can you say again last transmission" - 1143 am est

260 miles over Malaysia

I think 1 controller is talking to both astronauts at the same time -
giving directions to both of them - 1 is male and 1 is female - 'kate'
is female

just heard both astronauts speak to each other directly - 1146 am est

"say again c t"

go on the other side of the A frame - OK

copy

seems to be a party line amongst all 3 of them - maybe all 3 can talk
and receive at the same time

bravo 1 clockwise 2

just a little bit of breathing noises from astronauts causing a few
clicks on the voice channel

affirmative - 1149 am est

rfp for new radio console

the pd operates a psap / 2ndary psap

city fire and rural fd are both paged on the city dpw channel - rural
fd operates on their own channel it seems

sheriff is on a uhf trs apparently

nazis make no sense

nazis make no sense - nazis think that only "prefect" white people are good

but look at the real world - everything comes in different shapes and
sizes and colors - flowers - animals - molecules - microbes - bacteria
- trees - mountain - right hand turn signals - everything - planets -
moons - asteroids - milky ways - etc - equations - theorems -
hypothesis - conjectures - formulas

what drives a pathological need for uniformity and conformity?

this is not 100% ver batim / word for word - maybe 95% - exits might
be wrong - times might be a little off - might have missed a couple of
words here and there

I just post this to catch the general rhythm, phrases, and flow of

comment at nyt about sports

Good parents will need to understand and opt out of filing their
athletic children through mills that use them for financial, marketing
and sometimes even more tawdry ends. The Olympic movement has been
bought. College athletics are corrupt. High school and middle school
are the feeder systems for all of the above. Good educators will break
the cycle by accentuating intramural sports. Everyone plays. Eliminate
school football, it damages kids. Keep the Nike and Adidas sorts off
school campuses the way we fight drug dealers.

we cant turn off the sirens but we will turn off the sirens

lol lol lol lol lol

-----------------------------

Some people say, "I want you to stop the sirens." However, fire trucks
and ambulances are emergency vehicles. It is not possible to stop the
siren and drive because it is required by law to turn on the red light
and sound the siren .

 In Addition, Considering The Recent Housing Situation And The Mental
Burden On Patients And Families, The Ambulance Crew Also Tries To Stop
The Siren As Soon As Possible If There Is No Obstacle To Traffic And
The Location Can Be Confirmed By The Guidance. Please Be sure to guide
in the direction you hear the siren.

2020 FD Study - Josephne County Oregon

http://www.co.josephine.or.us/Files/PCG%20Final%20Recommendations%20-%2010-30-2020.pdf

the private FD in Merlin has 2,000 subscribers - they receive
"courtesy" pages from the County 911 Center - ????

More info on Josephine County Oregon

Medina Ohio - 20 minute response time to 2 fires

https://fox8.com/news/i-team/i-team-slow-response-to-another-raging-medina-fire-raises-new-questions/

1 fire was fatal

---------------------

something does not add up - Medina FD covers a total of 51 square
miles with a population of 37,000 yet firedepartment.net shows just 3
FT firefighters and 42 part time firefighters

Covington Georgia covers 15,000 people in 15 square miles - and they
have 55 fulltime firefighters

Medina Ohio FD - 2 FD contracts

https://medinaoh.org/includes/uploads/01-11-21_Finance_Packet.pdf

Medina FD covers 2 nearby Townships - but the contract only covers
staffing for Monday thru Friday - 8 am to midnight

Grants Pass Oregon - voters will consider new fire district

https://www.kdrv.com/content/news/Rural-Metro-Fire-proposes-new-Fire-Protection--573838671.html

the area is now protected by 1 or 2 or 3 private FDs / for profit FDs
/ subscription based FDs

Rural Metro says things will be much better

I wonder if voters will pass it?

Does your dispatch tell you what units are going or do you guys decide?

Both, but it's an evolving process. Until recently this County didn't
use a box alarm type system, each station brought what they had
manpower to bring. Recently a box alarm system was developed, however
its not county-wide yet. The exception is Salisbury, and in this case,
as the 4th due company, we were specifically dispatched for a truck
and an engine.

production came online, but I'm told ERCOT needs to ensure it's stable
enough to distribute without threatening the grid.

Texas update

If I heard the governor correctly, they should be adding power for 2
million more homes tonight

For warming center info - call 311 in cities - call 211 in rural areas

texas update today

UPDATE: 8:42 a.m.
ERCOT's current capacity is 45,000 megawatts of electricity, compared
to the current demand of 43,800 megawatts. By 10 a.m. the forecast is
expected to be up to 60,000 megawatts, yet the capacity won't even get
above 55,000 megawatts by 4 p.m., according to ABC13 Data Analyst
Keaton Fox.

UPDATE: 8:18 a.m.
An utility company official tells ABC13 that they are more optimistic
about today's power restoration efforts, but they expect a "sizeable"
group of people who will be without power the entire day, and they
could be in the dark into the rest of the week.

texas water mains are not buried deep - lordy lordy

how will this affect oil refineries etc?

---------------------

In the south our outside water lines aren't as deep, because it never
gets below 10 degrees....but here we go

Our water lines froze even though we had multiple faucets dripping a
steady stream of water. You're right. Our water lines are just barely
under the ground compared to practices in northern states.

Detailed story about attack on Capitol

As the battle raged, officers stationed away from the combat were
still trying to figure out if they were authorized to respond. They
heard calls on their radios for "all available units." But officers at
fixed posts didn't know what that meant.

"How the fuck am I supposed to know if I'm available?" thought one
officer, stationed at a perimeter post with no rioters in sight. The
officer's supervisors didn't know either. The group decided to stay
put: If they left, there was a chance their post could be overrun.
They were stuck listening to their colleagues fight and cry for help
over the radio.

--------------------------

https://www.propublica.org/article/i-dont-trust-the-people-above-me-riot-squad-cops-open-up-about-disastrous-response-to-capitol-insurrection

remember on 9/11 ? - one of very first FDNY messages - send every
available ambulance in the city - how many do you think were sent?

------------------------------

Several weeks before Jan. 6, many officers were ordered by their
leadership to return their helmets because they were so old, the
officers said. One officer told ProPublica he had received his helmet
decades ago, and the padding was rotted out. Many said their helmets
were never replaced. On the day of the riot, the department only had
helmets available in medium size, one officer said. Many officers
didn't have gas masks. Most hadn't received riot training in years.

"They've been asking about this for over 10 years — this kind of
equipment, this kind of training," said one officer, who asked for
anonymity out of concern for retribution. "We've always talked about
the big one."

re - Amazon food vs ebt

Can households participating in the SNAP program purchase eligible
food online from Whole Foods Market using their SNAP benefits?

No. However, many Whole Foods products are available through the
Amazon.com groceries and Amazon Fresh delivery programs.

snap vs amazon food

Amazon accepts SNAP EBT in all states except Alaska, Hawaii,
Louisiana, Maine and Montana. See FAQs to learn more.

Sudbury Mass - training annex was a superfund site

Covid - ??????? - a broad overview

covid - intentional or not?

1. some countries have very low death rates - these countries had
robust public health systems and a human government

2. covid has killed mostly elderly poor people - but it has possibly
created a new generation of young invalids

3. if you consider these 2 factoids - can they tell us if covid is
intentional or not? (I dont know)

Who are the big winners?

Maybe the very rich have been big winners in the USA - but this might
be based on a magical and mystical stock market. Maybe the middle
class also.

Parents have been able to spend more time with their children.

Commuters have been big winners.

Who have been big losers?

Anyone suffering from a chronic medical condition have probably seen
their hopes of a cure seriously diminished as medical research has
been upended

The top 1% of the technology class have shown their total lack of
empathy / concern for the 99%

Entertainers have all lost their live audiences

Politicians are exposed as totally incompetent

Children have not been able to interact with other children

College kids have lost large amounts of booze & drugs time.

Medical staff have been traumatized watching many people suffer
terrible needless deaths.

Yokohama FD "Ranger"units

I think the translation says - Yokohama FD "Ranger" units are rescue
pumpers who sometimes staff air bottle trucks or foam tankers - maybe
there are 18 ranger units scattered around the city - the ranger units
also respond to bld fires

Presidenial Helo - $14B error

https://youtu.be/UUTdn3q_FxU

near the end he says the overall price is $14B to $20B overall

this is a 12 minute video

the project to build a new Presidential helo has gone on for approx 30
years - there were huge cost overruns - Obama cancelled the project
and Canada bought 5 of the helios for $164M to use as SAR helios

the plan now is to get new helicopters by 2023

Yucca Mountain is another boondoggle that comes to mind when viewing this video

cambridge mass live cam

is that the central square fire station with eng 2 and ladder 3?

there was a 55 gallon drum right there

https://youtu.be/olvObAmRhNw

what if the 55 gallon drum had exploded?

seems way dangerous to me

or are those drums insulated and vented?

re - video of cops in japan

translation

An unclear crackdown on a scooter that is temporarily non-stop enough
to make the policeman laugh unintentionally, with a stop order and
thought that it was arrested and only guidance and caution

video of cops in japan or somewhere

https://youtu.be/M5S0JXuitOQ

2 minute video

no idea what its all about - but you really should watch it all - and
then think about pepper spraying a 9 year old black kid

--------------

note to self - I should probably watch the pepper spray video and see
what its all about
