I’m worn out from driving down and returning from Phoenix, where I spent Thanksgiving with my brother and the fire station he was working at today.

I’ll be writing a bit more on it tomorrow, when I’m not so tired, but two funny things came out of the day.

Tom, one of my brother’s fellow firefighters, showed me some of the Jeff Dunham videos. A bunch of us sat there laughing so hard. This guy is GOOD.

When we went out on a call, four police officers were there. One turns to me and says, “Ma’am, do you know the one thing the police and firefighters have in common?” I say I don’t. He pauses for a moment. The other police officers and the three firefighters that I’m with all look over at us. He replies, “We all want to be firefighters.” It was so funny because of the way he said it (and there was some good-natured ribbing going on between the PFD and the PPD.

More tomorrow.
