LA County Fire Department search and rescue dogs and their firefighter handlers pose for one last picture at the LA County FD warehouse facility in Pacoima, Ca before boarding buses for the trip to March Air Force Base and then on to Haiti to help in the rescue of hundreds still trapped. The dogs are specially trained to locate victims buried in rubble. They are part of the LA County Task Force 2, Urban Search and Rescue Team who, along with counterparts in Fairfax, Va, are the first called to respond to any disaster worldwide.
Hunter, a very highly trained Border Collie, waits for his firefighter handler so they can board a bus for the trip to March Air Force Base and then on the Haiti. Hunter is part of LA County FD Task Force 2, Urban Search and Rescue Team. This team and another in Fairfax, Va are deployed to anywhere in the world when disaster strikes...

More power to him....
I know! I know!!!! ( purple hippo raises hand..."Ooh, ooh, call on me, I know! I know!!!!" )
;)
Creole French isn't one of his many languages, is it?? He couldn't be interpreting, could he?
I mean, he's older than Flood ... even older than Patrap ... older even than ıoɯ.
haha you probably do know :P
this scares me alot... four pretty strong quakes in two days...
Rather amazing, sends chills down the spine.
Hope is alive.
Now I just have to remember to find it when I'm on Facebook!
...and I was serving Man O Manischewitz...with club soda, ice, and lime, to cut that yucky taste.
... then JFV and Stormtop came to ambush you guys but then Stormtops momma came and took them both away leaving you to enjoy your time.
Again, it doesn't matter what charity you contribute to, we can each make a difference. The people of Haiti need medical supplies and attention, food and water...many of you want to help by donating clothing, but at this time, donations of clothing aren't what's needed. Any donation of money, no matter how small, will help; if you can't donate money and you still want ot help, contact me and we'll find something you can help with. No effort is wasted folks, you can help!
LOL while I kicked back and enjoyed an Urge
did they have deli's back then...could you get a good pastrami on rye?
:)
I remember that...good guy, that Noah fella!
By the way, do you remember those matsos AIM was serving that day? LOL

Also, feel free to stop by my blog to offer any advice, ideas, etc. thanks!

"What?!"
"Both of those hippos are male. You're gonna have to take one of 'em back and bring back a female."
"I'm not takin' anything back! You CHANGE one of 'em!!!"
"C'mon, you know I don't work like that!!"
:)
Sorry, y'all...people start talking about Noah, and all I hear is the Bill Cosby routine.
;)
These actually were the first,first responders here,..as we passed them daily..,till the Calvary arrived..
And the Semper Paratus,Coast Guard did a fantastic job.
Also,this is the ONLY VIDEO of the 17th St. Canal breech as it happened.
...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN TALLAHASSEE HAS ISSUED A

AND GEORGIA...INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING AREAS...IN SOUTHEAST
ALABAMA...COFFEE...DALE...GENEVA...HENRY AND HOUSTON. IN
FLORIDA...BAY...CALHOUN...COASTAL WALTON...DIXIE...FRANKLIN...

* FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING
* WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ARE EXPECTED FROM
EARLY SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE. DEPENDING ON WHERE AND HOW QUICKLY THIS
RAIN FALLS...FLOODING COULD DEVELOP IN LOW-LYING AND POOR
DRAINAGE AREAS.
* THE MOST LIKELY AREAS TO BE IMPACTED ARE URBAN AREAS...ALONG SMALL
CREEKS AND LARGE DITCHES...AND LOW-LYING ROADS.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS
SITUATION...ESPECIALLY TO MOTORISTS. IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH WATER
TO LIFT A CAR AND CARRY IT DOWNSTREAM. FLOODING CAN BE ESPECIALLY
HAZARDOUS AT NIGHT.
PLEASE MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.

FOURNIER
Dan - thanks for the video! No matter how many times I see/hear this bit, I still LMBO!
And Awake, your shower curtain "procurement" talents are without equal. You rock!!!
I'm off to make brownies and other goodies for my "baby boy"...he's 23, coming to visit us for the first time in waaaaayyyy too long. Yup, color me excited!!
Love y'all...the best group of people I've ever met!
Oh, stop Amy...I do so love carbs...
but wait, is pastrami Atkins-approved? (As if I care, YUM)!
T-Dude...you got the Urge? Finally, when did it come? (All innuendo is strictly in the mind of the reader, wink.)
I just got it this afternoon! I havent opened a bottle yet tho ha
Thanks a million.
CLASSIC
Makes sense. The faster they get out of there, the better off they are, and the less strain on relief efforts (even if only a little less).
save a bottle for the silent auction at the WU/Portlight dinner in May!!!!!
:)
Once again, Synchronicity on the Blog rules,
regarding (a) received packages, and (b) Portlight.
UPS just delivered yet ANOTHER guitar. My dear husband doesn't even really play; just makes noise.
This is part of those "inferred" spousal goodwill "deals" re our future attendance at the Portlight fundraiser/party/WU get-together that is being planned for May in New Orleans (details TBD), where I have volunteered to wash dishes in lieu of funds.
Sigh...I don't suppose I can get a charity donation tax receipt of above-mentioned boy toy unless I actually donate it, huh?
great idea!!
:)
Honestly. Anyone want a used husband, skinny, blue-eyed, of Irish descent, good sense of humor, has a job, likes beer, still has a job, likes pets (most people not so much) and has an obsession for guitars that he can't play?
OH...you mean donate the guitar(s)!
Uh oh, hubby just called and he's on his way home...gotta' close up blog so he doesn't see...
The Coast Guard rocks.
What KIND of brownies is Mrs. Flood making?
Sorry, can't take human orphan. Would get divorce papers for sure. Might be able to convince hubby to take ANOTHER pet orphan.
Take care, all.
