My family didn't get deported for fried fish tacos to exist.
Mine got amnesty so they did. Lol, it’s just tacos, who cares? I like food that taste good.

@GMCmedic I hear ya on the bourbon, but I can’t do them without a cold Pacifico. When I’m off of course.

As a Midwesterner, you can't really beat some fried crappie on a tortilla. I know you have crappie in Texas.

Sunfish are too cute to cook 😡

Catfish taste awful.

They're legal now, but my grandparents will never be citizens. Knowing their own language was difficult enough when they dropped out at 4th grade, learning English? Not gonna happen

Yeah, mine took advantage of that whole deal in the 80’s.

They’ve both been buried now for some time, neither fully learned it either.

I remember them having to learn the pledge of allegiance as a kid when they were well into their 60’s.

Abeulo worked at the Philips plant in the Houston area. It blew up, he said he just ran, screaming people, injured people, flames everywhere, stuff blowing up. He just ran.

They sent him to school to learn English but he couldn't.

New hire medic got put on my truck so they put me on a different truck. Sucks cause I liked my station.

The station I'm at now gets hit pretty hard.

2 calls so far. Nothing crazy.

Anyone have a PRX rack or experience with one? Looking to get one for the new digs.

It literally has everything that I need, including the space saving factor.

I’m starting a volly gig soon. Should I get lights installed on my car? Part of me wants to but another part thinks it’s super cringe.

Depends...do you want to be known as a whacker?

Best bet would be to wait until you are actually with the department and see what their requirements are. Most places require you to have a certain amount of time with them and complete certain training requirements before you can run lights on your POV.

EDIT to add: Don't forget to call your insurance company and let them know you plan on adding emergency lights to your vehicle so they can raise your rates accordingly.

Just wanted to make sure that it’s as cringe/whacker as I thought it was. Not going to do it then.

Well, that's a way to start the day, traumatic cardiac arrest. We think the guy was working on his truck and it inadvertently ran him over, found him curled up half under it. PD actually got there first and had their AED on him, got the Lucas 3 on and rode into the hospital, Asystole, though a couple runs of PEA that didn't last long, but his CO2 was in the 80s and 90s, don't think I've ever seen it that high before

Never used one, one of our educators has the rogue version. Looks pretty sweet.

Ok I have some major concerns about how my place of work operates regarding having certifications. Who do I talk to about it?
