Christmas Eve

The run up is over.  It’s time to pour a glass of wine and sit in front of the fire with Mrs. Mack505.  Beth has been wonderful today, positively exploding with anticipation.

Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family.  We couldn’t have made this year without you.

12/6 – History lies forgotten on the floor of the firehouse.  Box 12 was our last street box and was recently removed for construction.  It will return as a master box, but there are no more street boxes in our system.

12/7 – Cold geese on Joppa Flats.

The week that almost wasn’t (P365)

Events and circumstances have caused me to neglect Project 365 this past week.  Carrying a camera and photographing whatever strikes my fancy, however, has become a habit.  Here’s a brief look from the eye of my personal hurricane.

11/3 – I caught Engine 2 and Ladder 2 doing something at the Firehouse Center.  They may have been installing the Christmas lights.

I also note that I need to clean the lens of my camera phone.

11/5 – Helipad at Local Community Hospital after dusk.  I wish I’d had my big Nikon with me to do this one justice.

11/6 – Sunrise.  The (blurry) end of another night shift.

Also 11/6 - DHART 2 on the helipad at LCH.  I had the Nikon this time. . .

(For those who may be concerned based on my previous posts, it wasn’t there for me or anyone I know.)  Things seem to be settling down and looking up here at Mosquito Hill.  Time will tell.
