October 7, 1825: Raging wildfires in New Brunswick, Canada, destroyed over 3 million acres of forest. As many as 500 people were killed. The blaze has been partly attributed to unusually hot weather in the region, coupled with outdoor burns by settlers and loggers. #wxhistory

@BillyGoldfeder @VTFireMarshal @IAFC_VCOS @NVFC @usfire Another day another story. We know the problem yet refuse to apply the solution. We rightfully fund law enforcement, but continue to rely on volunteers to shoulder the delivery of equally-essential fire and EMS services. Until we do, expect nothing to improve. #Followthemoney

@614clinton You mean HIPAA?

During covid I was called out to a home to do some work. When I arrived a man came to the door and immediately said, "Where is your mask?" I said, "What mask? He said, "Aren't you supposed to be wearing a mask?" I said, "No, I don't have to wear one. He said, "Well! I'm the District Attorney here and I'm telling you, you have to wear a mask." I said, "Well! the Governor of this State said I didn't. There were medical exemptions that were put in place for a reason." He said, "I don't think so, what is your medical exemption?" I said, "Have you ever heard of HIPPA? He, immediately jumped on his computer in the front room and started clickety clacking as fast as he could to look all of this up while I waited at the front door. When he was all done making a fool out of himself, I said, "Did you want to show me the work you needed done on your home?" As nice as could be, "Yes Sir, I'll show you now..... I'm still not sure what my medical exemption was, but since they're not allowed to ask....😉😆 #614clinton
