Anticipation

Almost 41 hours into the new year, and we’re still awaiting call #1 on the FD.  We averaged 1.6 calls per day last year.

It’s been snowing since last night, but no one has crashed their car, fallen down, or had chest pain while shoveling.  No trees have fallen on wires, no one has over-stoked their wood stove and set their chimney on fire.  Nothing.  Not even a burnt dinner at the elderly housing complex.

It’s getting creepy.
