Mid-day check in

My wife taught school to max juvenile inmates for 14 yrs. Same facility I still work at so she knew when things were bad at the facility I was in the mix of it. I am guessing she has not worried much or would be more comfortable than most with me rushing out the door to a wreck/fire/medical call. We have a scanner at the house so she can listen to what is going on. She and my daughter also volunteer when we have fund raising events like dinners and such so she knows the other members. I think all of that makes a positive experience for her.

It isn't for everyone though.

Ive seen the headlight fog removal with bug spray and have heard it does work while others say its BS.

The bugs on the headlights are usually already dead.
