Arlington Mass had major battle on April 19 1775
https://youtu.be/mL-w9m3vWVY - 6 minute video that tells the tale of
the battle of Menotomy
the video of the battle scenes comes mostly from the Jason Russell
House and possibly East Lexington (not really sure where those scenes
in the woods are)
Lexington and Concord and Boston get all of the glory - but the real
battle was in Arlington Mass - formerly known as Menotomy Mass and
then West Cambridge
Foot of the Rocks (the boulders by the roadside) is at Mass Ave at
Lowell Street in Arlington - the Jason Russell House is approx 1.5
miles to the east at Mass Ave at Jason St - the Old Burial Ground is
at the Mass Ave at Library Way area (2 blocks east of the Jason
Russell House)
In total - 40 British died that day and 25 Patriots
=================
coming up on the 250th anniversary - they could do a full bore
reenactment - would not be that hard - would be easy for the red coats
to march along Mass Ave - the hard part would be to have the Patriots
shooting from behind houses and stores - that would take alot of
coordination with landlords - but a close approximation would be to
have the Patriots shoot from the side streets - the Jason Russell
House does not have alot of room - but they always manage to get the
reenactments done - you would have to crop and photos or videos very
closely in order to hide all the modern buildings - but it could be
done if necessary
they could do the reenactment all the way to Boston - just get some
minivans to shuttle the actors around - a 38 mile hike might be tough
on people - its 19 miles at 6 hours to walk from paul revere house in
boston to old north bridge in concord per google maps

Religion in crisis in USA
Last year, Americans' membership in houses of worship fell below 50
percent for the first time since Gallup started its authoritative
religion survey. In 1937 — the year the Gallup poll began — seven out
of 10 Americans attended church. In 2020 — before the pandemic — only
47 percent of Americans belonged to a church, synagogue or mosque,
according to the survey. It's been trending downward since 2000. Young
people are rejecting organized religion and some churches are facing
an existential crisis. ....
Once-booming evangelical churches are worried about declining numbers.
But liberal mainline protestants like the Lutherans, Methodists,
Presbyterians, and Episcopalians are hemorrhaging members.

trumps taxes released
https://www.wcvb.com/article/trump-tax-returns-released/42366092
from the AP article
In October 2018, The New York Times published a Pulitzer Prize-winning
series based on leaked tax records that showed that Trump received a
modern-day equivalent of at least $413 million from his father's real
estate holdings, with much of that money coming from what the Times
called "tax dodges" in the 1990s.

vegan keto is possible
https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/zyl1fm/vegan_vegetarian_keto_curious/
Vegan ketoer here - it's doable, but does take more planning. Your
plant-based protein sources will almost certainly have some amount of
carbs, even in small amounts, and that adds up. Soy (tofu or TVP),
nuts and nut butters (peanuts or almonds), seeds (hemp, chia, pumpkin)
and protein powders (pea and/or soy) are key sources to consider.
Basically, I'd encourage you to give some plant sources a try as, if
for no other reason, it helps add some variety and adventure to your
keto meals! Good luck.
[thinking that Indonesia and India would be 2 places to do research]
keto = very low carbohydrate diet

Massachusetts FDs get state funds
https://theconcordbridge.org/index.php/2022/12/21/concord-fire-receives-grant-for-new-portable-radios/
$5M for 5 years - funds from State of Mass to local FDs for minor
equipment purchases
adding yet another layer of bureaucracy to keep YOU safe
lets follow the money on this - residents pay tons of taxes and buy
tons of lottery tickets - money goes to state - state hires a couple
of people to dribble that money back to the local governments after
300,000 pages of paperwork have been filled out
cool
maybe 5 people work this program at the state level - $100K each for a
cool $.5M - and then all the locals have to fill out tons of paperwork
which probably eats up $500,000 in time - so we have lost 20% of the
funding before the first glove gets delivered
but hey its free

NM getting $4B after wildfires started by USFS
https://sourcenm.com/briefs/another-1-45-billion-for-northern-nm-fire-victims-clears-congress-as-part-of-the-omnibus-bill/
how much would they have gotten if the fires were caused by lightning?
this feels like a $4B scam - if they have been doing nothing to
prepare for wildfires - why should they get $4B when a wildfire hits?
if this just a typical deep pockets lawsuit turned around a little bit?
everyone should have had fire insurance - so why is the feds giving them $4B?
even if the USFS "caused" the fire - did anyone prove malfeasance or
malevolence? - if the usfs was in between a rock and a very hard place
- with no way out - then is anyone surprised that a huge fire broke
out?
lets see what wikipedia says -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calf_Canyon/Hermits_Peak_Fire - 1,000
structures burnt - no explanation as to why the USFS let 2 fires get
away from them
bottom line - no changes in procedures - no discipline - nothing
learned - insurance or the feds will pay for everything - enjoy your
new house - just take the money and shut up

in new mexico iirc homes are built of adobe
in colorado they build homes of wood - and stick them right in the
middle of the brush and grasslands
but on the good side - they only have major fires once every 10 years
- maybe an average of 100 homes lost per year - not enough to get
really worried about

report on 2019 explosion in Port Neches TX
"The incident at TPC was the result of a known safety hazard--popcorn
polymer--that was poorly managed and controlled at the facility. The
result was a catastrophic incident that caused hundreds of millions of
dollars in damage to the facility and nearby homes and business and
resulted in a mandatory evacuation being ordered for everyone within a
four-mile radius of the facility," said CSB chairperson Steve Owens.

April 8 2020 white house - the trumpler speaks
Q And, Mr. President, just a follow-up on something from yesterday,
and a quick just yes or no question. Yesterday, you said you had not
seen Peter Navarro's memo on the coronavirus back in January and
February 23rd.
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah.
Q Were you ever briefed on those memos? Did you ever discuss those
memos with anybody on your —
THE PRESIDENT: I don't remember that. I've now seen the memo. I saw
it. It was — Peter sends a lot of memos. I didn't see the memo. As
you know, World Health was saying that was not correct because, at the
time, they called it wrong.
===================
Lets get this straight - you can remember that the memo that you didnt
receive 2 or 3 months ago was being called 'wrong' by the WHO -
remarkable
Why did Trumpler say "Peter sends a lot of memos"/ Was he trying to
minimize something? CURIOUS
When exactly did you see the memo Mr Trumpler?

USFA fire registry now has 91% of FDs listed
https://apps.usfa.fema.gov/registry/summary#d
that is their estimate
not too shabby - I am sure they are working to up that number
27,000 FDs are listed
68% of the departments have 1 station.
17% have 2 stations.
15% have 3 or more stations.
52,000 stations are registered
add another 10% to that and you get the magic number of - 57,000 fire
stations in the USA
there are just over 1 million firefighters - that is 1 in 250 by my calculation
"Of the active firefighting personnel, 34% were career firefighters,
53% were volunteer firefighters, and 12% were paid per call
firefighters." -

Australia - NSW RFS getting MDTs in all 5,000 vehicles
https://gfmc.online/2022/07-2022/nsw-rfss-emergency-response-systems-to-be-digitally-transformed.html
let me give you some of the back story on this
New South Wales (NSW) is 1.2 times bigger than Texas in terms of land
area - its huge
NSW has 2 primary fire services - the NSW FD and the NSW Rural FD (my
terms - but very close to the actual names)
NSW FD protects the cities and villages with paid firefighters and
paid on call firefighters - they have approx 335 stations - possibly
they cover every city and village that has more than a population of
5,000 people - each of their stations has at least 1 full size
structural pumper (maybe 750 gpm with 500 gallon tank - iirc they use
hard reel lines for interior fire attack)
NSW Rural FD protects everything outside of the cities and villages -
they have approx 1,100 stations staffed by volunteers / unpaid
firefighters - each of these stations typically has 2 or 3 fire
vehicles - a small pickup truck smoke chaser engine + a medium sized
engine with maybe a 500 gallon tank and a 100 GPM pump + a full size
engine ("Category 1 tanker" iirc) with maybe a 700 gallon tank and a
200 gpm pump - most of these units are set up to handle wildfires but
they also respond to bld fires and car crashes and misc emergencies
(but not ems calls it seems) - some of the stations are in hamlets
with only 100 people - possibly the Rural FD units do not have SCBA
and they dont have Jaws - they might not have structural fire coats
and pants also (some might if they have assigned "village districts"
to protect - (1 slight correction - 99% of stations have a Cat 1
tanker - 50% also have a smaller mid sized tanker)
ALL units are dispatched out of just 2 fire dispatch centers - 1 in
Sydney and 1 in Newcastle
The Rural FD use a radio network of 420 Mhz conventional repeaters
(per rrdb) - we think that one channel on 148 mhz and one channel at
420 mhz is used to activate digital pagers for ALL of the stations
)both the volunteer Rural FD and the paid FD)
==============
also - road crash extrications are typically handled by the vols of
the State Emergency Service - or by police rescue squads - or by
independent volunteer rescue squads - etc - maybe primarily by the
paid FD actually - this seems to be in flux
Ambulances are operated by the NSW Ambulance Service which covers the
entire state - they might have stations in every city with more than
5,000 population - with 3 or 4 ambulances in 1 bld staffed by fulltime
paid staff iirc - they have 225 stations - they also fly 12 medevac
helos from 6 bases - and they fly 5 medevac planes out of Sydney
Police are statewide - they are all paid afaik
state forestry and federal forestry and federal fish and game also
operate wildfire units - ish
=====================
putting this into perspective - it would be like dispatching every
fire station in California out of 2 dispatch centers - and putting
MDTs in every fire truck - (not sure on the size of CA vs TX - but we
are guessing they have an almost equal number of fire stations)
let me give you some of the back story on this
New South Wales (NSW) is 1.2 times bigger than Texas in terms of land
area - its huge
NSW has 2 primary fire services - the NSW FD and the NSW Rural FD (my
terms - but very close to the actual names)
NSW FD protects the cities and villages with paid firefighters and
paid on call firefighters - they have approx 335 stations - possibly
they cover every city and village that has more than a population of
5,000 people - each of their stations has at least 1 full size
structural pumper (maybe 750 gpm with 500 gallon tank - iirc they use
hard reel lines for interior fire attack)
NSW Rural FD protects everything outside of the cities and villages -
they have approx 1,100 stations staffed by volunteers / unpaid
firefighters - each of these stations typically has 2 or 3 fire
vehicles - a small pickup truck smoke chaser engine + a medium sized
engine with maybe a 500 gallon tank and a 100 GPM pump + a full size
engine ("Category 1 tanker" iirc) with maybe a 700 gallon tank and a
200 gpm pump - most of these units are set up to handle wildfires but
they also respond to bld fires and car crashes and misc emergencies
(but not ems calls it seems) - some of the stations are in hamlets
with only 100 people - possibly the Rural FD units do not have SCBA
and they dont have Jaws - they might not have structural fire coats
and pants also (some might if they have assigned "village districts"
to protect - (1 slight correction - 99% of stations have a Cat 1
tanker - 50% also have a smaller mid sized tanker)
ALL units are dispatched out of just 2 fire dispatch centers - 1 in
Sydney and 1 in Newcastle
The Rural FD use a radio network of 420 Mhz conventional repeaters
(per rrdb) - we think that one channel on 148 mhz and one channel at
420 mhz is used to activate digital pagers for ALL of the stations
)both the volunteer Rural FD and the paid FD)
==============
also - road crash extrications are typically handled by the vols of
the State Emergency Service - or by police rescue squads - or by
independent volunteer rescue squads - etc - maybe primarily by the
paid FD actually - this seems to be in flux

to be honest - many times cpr on a baby is not needed iirc - there is

a modern schema for public safety radio
lets set some basic rules for public safety radio communications in
the year 2023
1. once a person or a team is dispatched to an emergency scene - they
will have direct contact with the dispatcher the entire time that they
are responding to, operating at, and leaving the incident - without
changing channels
2. radio comms can be difficult in valleys and gulleys and tunnels and
basements and dense buildings etc - this is well known - the answers
can include MO3 and BDA etc - money has to be found to accomplish this
at a 99% level
3. all units responding to a particular emergency need to be able to
talk amongst themselves
4.dispatcher needs to be able to talk over field units
5. doubles must be prevented
6. public safety radios needs to be strong and lightweight and have
strong batteries - you know - the usual stuff
These are just the very basic requirements - but they might get very
lost in a 1000 page RFP

update on the hawaii medevc crash
https://youtu.be/qmr_AIKZcRk
it was a medevac plane not a medevac helo as I thought previously
my bottom line - it seems the pilot bent over to reprogram the
navigation system - lost spatial awareness - and spiraled into the
ocean
no mention of a mayday call in this video
this video does contain the ATC radio traffic as taken from
?atcradio.com? - openness related - live scanner audio related
=======================
one comment at YT says -
Beech uses the Colins Proline system in the king air. I maintained an
B200 air ambulance and was always struck with how the inputs required
to enter any changes required the pilot to put their head down to look
at the input pad mounted below and behind the throttle quadrant, which
would induce disorientation just from head movements, let alone the
head up/head down/head up transition. My aircraft was flown with two
crew only because of the weather we operated in, but the input pad was
on the pilots side of the center console. We had one pilot with poor
flying skills and he lost altitude immediately after rotation because
he went head down over something when he should have been locked on
establishing a climb. RIP for the crew and prayer for the loved ones
left behind.

escondido ca - swat call in 2017 - ???
On 7/28/17 at 14:42 hours, dispatch received a call for service at
1311 Elm St, regarding a subject who began crying on the phone.
Dispatchers heard what appeared to be a single gunshot over the
telephone line. Patrol officers assembled on scene, and contained the
residence. A React element was established, along with the deployment
of the Bearcat. Officers were able to locate several phone numbers
for relatives associated with the occupant of the residence. Officers
gained information that all family members had left the house, after a
heated argument, prior to police arrival. Several family members
stated that one subject, a male adult, was inside of the house. The
family members stated that the subject had not threatened any of them
during or after the altercation. Officers conducted witness checks at
the nearby residences. None of the neighbors heard or observed any
gunfire from the target location. An older male adult was observed by
several perimeter units walking inside of the structure. Per those
units, he did not appear to be in distress or injured. Numerous calls,
texts, and bullhorn announcements were made into the residence to
contact the male, which resulted in zero contact. Officers manning the
perimeter and React left the scene after it was determined that no
crime had occurred.

they are all volunteer - no one receives any pay unless its a big forest fire
one way to look at it - if they lose just one house per year to fire -
that will be $1M every 2 years maybe - insurance companies probably
wont like that
a simple calculation could be - if we get a new ladder truck and a new
station and a lower ISO rating - then we save X amount by spending Y
amount - plus maybe we save a few lives along the way

time that someone mentions the use of this channel, they also have to
point out that there are 10 glaring exemptions - and the list has to
be dug up and plotted on a map - because they are entirely random
locations

=================
REPEATING - 154.2875 can be used anywhere in the USA except in those
listed locations
note they are mostly rural locations that in no way should be using
this channel in this way - its absurd - its frankly stupid but hey -
welcome to America - there is a probably a dozen alternative channels
that could be used in each of those locations (between local and
federal channels)
no idea why WI and IL and AK have the channel with different PL / NAC
- maybe due to legacy gear issues - or future gear issues
Keep in mind - if you try to use 154.2875 with PL 156.7 in any of the
areas listed above - you could be drowned out randomly and never
realize why - depends on how your radio's PL is programmed - but it is
pointless to get into that aspect of the situation - its a rabbit hole
with no bottom

Boulder CO - wildfire is now 25% contained
winds are expected to lighten soon - 200 firefighters at scene
getting to the bottom of "fire marks"
https://youtu.be/Wif1EAgEQKI - 7 minute video - 1 million views in 1 day
old London - insurance companies would pay the first, second, and
third arriving fire companies at a building fire
so what was the purpose of having fire marks then?
something still does not add up here - if the insurance companies were
funding the fire companies - and the insurance companies were paying
only the first, 2nd, and third arriving fire companies - what was the
real purpose of the fire mark?
maybe the mark just told the fire company were to send a bill for
their services - without having to track down the owner and ask who
his insurer was
lets read the attached report and see what it says -
https://www.tomscott.com/corrections/firemarks/
ah - here we go - "Insurance companies also made additional payments
for hard work and bravery at fires, and made compensation awards for
injury or death.[47], [48], [49], [50], [51]"
so indeed - the fire mark would tell the FD where they could get money from

the committee showed a video that recapped the events of 1/6 - the
video was approx 10 minutes long
police radio traffic was heard at 127 pm edt + 132 pm est - sounded
like 1 radio message each from metro pd + capitol pd + secret service
this shows how important public access to police radio traffic is in a
monumental way
also - dont forget - the police radio traffic from the secret service
went missing after the lafayette park incident - supposedly their
recording system failed iirc

monumental way
also - dont forget - the police radio traffic from the secret service
went missing after the lafayette park incident - supposedly their
recording system failed iirc

there was a plugged gasoline line and he got under the car to fix it -
face got doused in gasoline and lit up

back to hospital for 9 days in ICU - ?????

BREAKING — Here are the *four criminal referrals the Jan. 6 Committee
has made to DOJ regarding Trump: 1. Obstruction of an official
proceeding 2. Conspiracy to defraud the U.S. 3. Conspiracy to make a
false statement 4. "Incite," "assist" or "aid and comfort" an
insurrection
more is possible as mentioned at 212 pm est - if a connection is found
to a foreign government - that would be TREASON

The Extreme Solution US Navy Found to Deal With Enemy Drones in Middle of the Ocean

first 10 minutes is about Phalynx and ram
comments seem to be still very worried about a drome swarm
individual drones might be too small to damage a aircraft carrier -
but 50 of them hitting the ship at the same spot would probably not be
good
putting some nets around the ship might be a simple cheap solution - maybe not

new braunfels texas - hospitals and ERs
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=19Z6aPfzA5z_mTD9_XE4dVdtC9ce8BENe&usp=sharing
- zerg90 map of Comal County - please see the 'hospitals and ER' layer
so far we have located 4 free standing ERs and 2 hospitals and 1 rehab hospital
all of the free standing ERs and hospitals claim to be open 24/7 and
to be staffed with doctors
gonna assume that the rehab hospital has 1 MD on duty in house 24/7
there also might be a medevac helo at the New Braunfels Airport 24/7
New Braunfels covers 44 square miles and has a population of 90,000 -
the FD has a medic ambulance at each of 6 stations - soon to be 7
stations - New Braunfel is the county seat of Comal County which is
between San Antonio and Austin iirc
the two hospital ERs are classified as Level 4 / Basic trauma centers
- texas has a list of trauma centers on line here at
https://www.dshs.texas.gov/sites/default/files/emstraumasystems/Trauma/pdf/etrahosp.pdf
- there are - 21 Level 1 + 26 Level 2 + 60 Level 3 + 198 Level 4 -
gonna guess that Level 1 and 2 have a surgeon in house or nearby 24/7
- but level 3 and 4 do not
For New Braunfels - it looks like overall there is a minimum of 6 ER
MDs on duty 24/7 - you might add a 7th at the rehab hospital (which
probably does not have an emergency entrance but they might have a MD
in house 24/7)
New Braunfels could staff two Level 1 trauma centers if I did my
calculations correctly - with 3 MDs in each trauma center 24/7 - you
could actually have "2 major ERs" with 1 surgeon + 2 medical doctors
on duty 24/7 in each "major ER" - good locations might be 327 at 46
and at I35 at 46 - east and west of downtown at the major interchanges
- but we really have no idea how the roads work in that area
Worcester Mass also has a population of 100,000 - they have a Level 1
trauma center and a regular hospital ER
note - each of the free standing ERs in New Braunfel also seems to
have CAT scans and some lab facilities - they list cash prices for
procedures and lab tests (both in house and out of house) - setting a
broken bone costs $200 - no prices listed for gunshots or trampled by
horse or car crash - concussions might be $200
note - is it possible that the 2 level 4 trauma centers also have
inhouse doctors 24/7 in addition to the ER doctors? maybe for the ICUs
or wards?

Marion Lewis 911 Center MO - agencies served
https://www.marionlewis911.com/agencies-served/
note they also dispatch Ralls County Sheriff - which is a 3rd county
apparently they are a PSAP - and they list the agencies that they
directly dispatch for - aka primary agencies
they dont list the agencies that they do call forwarding for - they do
dispatch all the FDs in Marion County - but they do not dispatch any
fire depts in Ralls County - they do not dispatch Ralls County
Ambulance - note that Hannibal Rural FD has 2 stations in Ralls County
and 1 station in Marion County - they dispatch 3 of 4 FDs in Lewis
County
actually - something is weird - the state fdid list does not show a
palmyra fd nor a monticello fd - but they do show a R-V FD - something
is weird with the Lewis County listings - we really need to find a
list of special districts in Missouri - some day
they used to be in the basement of the Hannibal police station
bottom line - it seems that the Marion Lewis County 911 Center
directly dispatches all FDs in Lewis County and Marion County - and
some of those FDs have first due areas in Ralls County and maybe other
counties
Note - Marion County Sheriff is not dispatched by the Marion Lewis 911
Center - doh
so its complicated
