My thoughts too. But like… SO MANY THINGS went wrong to get to that moment. Like you’re “cleaning” a loaded, safety off shotgun where your dog can get it?

How the hell does a dog trigger a shotgun? (I say this as a shotgun owner…so many bad firearms owners out there)

Yet the KC135 which the KC10 was supposed to replace still flies today!

Mamdani served food at a veterans event today and said “the day of honoring veterans today and forgetting them tomorrow in NYC will come to an end.”

Deeds are better than empty platitudes 365 days/year.

“im activated for the EOC” I say, as I roll to the airport… “response time is whatever the next flight from Newark to LAX is…” 😉

We augment our city EOC with volunteers who are trained on their roles. Some of us have prior EM/EOC/etc experience.

I can’t believe they couldn’t do this in the LA metro area with locals?

Well, I *do* like Malibu, and my first emergency I ever worked was there. I’m qualified!

Airfare?!? They expecting someone to come from out of state or somerhing?

Kate, you and your students are doing important but often thankless work. So. Gratitude, and a hope you’re all sustaining yourselves.
