    Job with plenty of flashlight usage?

    My mother passed away

    I do understand how you feel, jtr1962. I cared for my mother until her doctor said she needed to go into an assisted care facility. I still visited her several times each week. We were very close. I would not change anything I did, even though it took a toll on me. I was visiting her one day...

    How's The Weather There ?

    We got our first snow of the season today. It was barely flurries, but it counts. It was cold and very windy with a low of 19° not counting the 30 mph wind. Yuck.

    there are some Jokes

    Even more Chuck Norris humor: Chuck Norris had a role in Star Wars. He was The Force. When Chuck Norris does a push up, he isn't lifting himself up, he is pushing the earth down. While learning CPR, Chuck Norris brought the practice dummy back to life. The Boogie Man checks under his bed for...

    there are some Jokes

    I had a bunch of those. When I got married my wife threw them all out. She had quite a collection of tupperware containers. I fight the battle of non-uniform lids now.

    so why flashlights? why do you like them?

    Good question. All excellent answers. I have been obsessed with flashlights as long as I can remember. I still am. When I got into law enforcement, it became apparent just how important a dependable flashlight is. I still observe the rule of 2=1, 1=none. Therefore, I usually have a couple...
