Firemen - my weakness

Best lunch ever today! Dav and I met in the neighborhood as we now work a few blocks away from each other. Afterwards, I wanted to get coffee at Philz, so he obliged and walked with me. Just as we entered, 4 firemen walked in too, their truck just outside and them in all their fireman gear. A few of you know that I, uh, have a weak spot for firemen. I've heard this is not rare.

I was sheepish, but after encouragement from Dav, I asked for a photo. They happily accepted (they get such requests a lot, they said) and even let me get in front of their truck. So nice! Just as we lined up, they got a call, and off they zoomed with their sirens and red truck.

I came back to the office grinning : )

Hee hee! When I was a young teenager, our next door neighbor's car caught on fire. I was watching out the window as the fire truck sped up on the scene. A bunch of firemen jumped out, raced right over to the car and put out the fire. I was in awe of how they ran right up onto it, with no hesitation. Most people are running away from such dangerous situations! I distinctly remember thinking, "Wow, they're so, *brave*!"
