Now with all this North Korea stuff, and soon Iran, it would seem as if Cheyenne would get a second lease on life, especially since if North Korea was going to attack, it would be the West Coast. This is a bad idea. There is still the one in Nebraska at Offut AFB, where Bush went on 9/11, but I don't think it is like Cheyenne.

what happened to Code 3...some downfall for them

Those extras end up sent to firehouses that are short or to fill out the 5FF engines?

I passed Station 1 earlier...it now has magnetic numbers and door marking

No one likes to loose power. Of course not. But power outages are a fact of life, like someone else said above. I AM NOT DEFENDING THE RESPONSE OF CON ED. They were awful, as usual. However, you can't just wake up in the morning and decide to bury wires and transformers and everything is right with the world. Underground splicing of new power cables can take up to 12 hours. Also, there are not as many employees who can repair them. Then there are the manhole fires. It would be a good idea to bury all the wires in new developments. Con Ed must do a better job of trimming trees, improve their communications and their response.

Do you have the $5 billion this is estimated to cost?

Excellent point. Does anyone have Con Ed's T&D maintenance staffing numbers?

Very. Don't bother if you are not a resident.

Charles Dolan & Company certinely need a run for their money. Why do my cable rates go up when the Knicks screw up??

Thanks grumpyff.......I did not know that there was a V-6 offered.

I want to know what NYPD is going to do with them on the streets of Manahttan??? I'm sure they will let Highway test them, but what will they do with a Hemi in Midtown??? Bronxville's is a radar/DWI car. They used to have a Crown Vic. Just FYI, Tuckahoe just got one as well, but it is a regular patrol unit. Perhaps the appeal is (other then that they are new) when hiding, people won't realize it's PD.

Some local judges will begin to throw out the tickets for the smallest things. That does not look good either. This will have terrible consequences for the smaller upstate towns who have alot of nice, straight state roads to speed on. They cannot afford to hire prosecutors. The GOP could loose the state Senate (Dems already have the Assemby.) And Gov. Spitzer takes office in January. So anything is possible.

Anything John Street says cannot be taken as rational.

I believe it was the late Captain of Rescue 1 who did alot of the design work on the new rescues.

notice how I started the post: ...Without taking a side, IF...

Without taking a side, the reporter clearly provoked the woman. Without taking a side, IF the reporter is on private property and is told to leave, then he got what was coming to him. Alot of these reporters think the First Amendment provides them with a mandate to do whatever they damn well please. Since they are reporters, then the world is owed to them.

Of course it wasn't C. Ray's fault. We all know that the criminal Bush ordered Rumsfeld and Cheney to create the hurricane, and then we also all know that it was always the job of the Feds to evacuate the people in the path of any storm.... ....oh wait....

That's computer done, I hope. No person (cough) would ever drive like that..(cough again) I'm not sure it matters what you are responding to in order to justify driving like that. I was scared, and I'm watching the video.

What I find interesting is the other thread somewhere from this week about too many lights...seems like if the drivers in the newer cars cant hear the trucks, at least light them up good so that people can mabye see them.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR REPLIES! problem is resolved, however, I didn't do anything. I have cable with a router and use XP & IE. One desktop and one laptop with wireless. No blocking software. I did run that clean out, but after the problem seems to have resolved itself. I'm thinking this problem was not on my end. Yes/No? thank you all again.

So I know some members here are good with computers and stuff like that (I clearly am not one)...Hopefully someone can help me with an internet problem I'm having. Certain sites will not open, Google, for example. It has been like this for a couple of days now. I try to open the page and it says "cannot find server"".... what do I do/can I do..something, anything... thanks and stay cool

I won't comment on this new parade thread, I'll go and read through the other 150 threads on this utterly useless topic.

Alot of Mass. cars also have the black and white with very very similar graffics. It's a kit.

...try the Cross County Pkwy

I'm guessing he was arrested for reckless driving?
