Squirrel For Dinner

Really, who would really want to…

Two unconnected stories grabbed my attention today.

First was one about a 9/11 first responder who house is going on the auction block because of medical bills that resulted from being at ground zero.

The second is about the lack of firefighters in California.

Putting these two stories together begs the question “Who would volunteer?”.

Good people are doing extrodinary things all across the United States, sometimes for no money, and as payback for injuries received on the job, the best the government (state, federal, and local) can do is generate paperwork and excuses instead of taking care of them on a level on par with how they took care of us.

Absolutely disgusting!
