Safety tip.


Halloween is just around the corner so this is a reminder to prepare in advance. This tip is directed toward the homeowners that will be hosting many trick or treaters, so I’m going to break this down for you "old school."
The ultimatum "trick or treat" given by children who call on houses to solicit gifts at Halloween alone should be the first clue.
Trick or Treat does not mean a "gift in exchange for a prayer for the dead", anymore. It means give me a treat or I'll be back with a few friends with a little trick of my own. Now for those of you who like to hand out popcorn balls, sticky candy apples or fruit; you've moved yourself to the top of the "Will visit later list" The "my porch light is off so don't come here " homes are also on the fast track to the list.
So in short if you provide a reasonable treat of sugar substance you should be ok. If you plan on being gone or hiding out just leave a bowl of approved goodies on the steps. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Safety tip.


One thing learned from the recent earth quake was how quickly the 911 system was overwhelmed. Within minutes all available 911 emergency lines were filled and backed up. This can be very dangerous to those with real emergencies! Within minutes TV and radio stations had updates about the quake. We need to remember that 911 is not an information hotline or gossip hub. Chances are pretty good that if you heard a noise from your house that sounded like it ejected your furnace through the roof, your not the only one... So check the furnace if its still there relax and watch the news, if its gone and you can see the sky from the basement call 911.
