About
Random thoughts, occasional rants, illuminating commentary, and an odd story now and then from the world of 9-1-1 dispatching. All this and more from a gay liberal atheist living in California's Bible belt. Some names have been omitted to protect the innocent, but the guilty will be hung out to dry!
