In Reply to: O/T Schools closing early SE MN posted by bradk on January 29, 2008 at 09:30:39:

Our school is reasonable unless there is a sports activity that evening, however that is improving.

Tonight we have a EMS meeting and I intend to bring up the issue. We have at best during the work week, myself usualy, (if I'm working near town) and a couple firemen to make calls. Our system of requirments to volenteer are up to a all time high, the cost of training keeps going up, no one works in town anymore. Besides it just costs lots of time and out of the pocket money to volenteer nowdays. If you question the windchill factor just grab a pair of latex gloves and see what
---cold fingers--- realy means.

We have 28 firemen and a dozen EMS. Last fall on one grain bin fire I left town by myself, I do not work well by myself, and don't like rejection. I told the guys that I realize I get a little gamey in my turn out gear, but I have been known to use deoderant from time to time. All jokes set aside this is sad to say the least, and no idea how to change it. All the shinny trucks and expensive equipment need man power to operate.

To our advantage less kids ride the bus as little farms become part of a corperation big farm. And alot of kids drive to school.

The kids go to the snow slopes, speach contests, golf days and sports events till who laid the rail. We live in a very hilly area, and cell phones may not work when needed. The county can not possibly put enough sand on the roads, and the buss drivers are many times forbidden to chain up---chains cost to much money! Can you imagine a bus upside down over a bluff? I wonder how many sets of chains the big dogs salary increase would buy. He am a beery mart dude.

The (state) smart folks, don't think seat belts on busses are a good idea. They must not have had much school housin.

I would recomend that you call these folks in charge and raise your voices if necessary.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
