Ship fire off Port Canaveral
 

On 157.075, "US Coast Guard Station Ponce Inlet" is in comms with
Vessel "Fishhook" that has a fire. CG is advising the captain of the
vessel to have people move as far as possible from the fire. He
informs that a CG Cutter is en route to the stricken vessel.

The Coast Guard is asking what sort of clothes the persons on the
vessel are wearing and is trying to get a cell phone number from
someone on the vessel to improve communications.

The troubled vessel is now Southeast of Palm Coast Marina and is
drifting to the Southwest.

CG Sta Ponce Inlet comms with the vessel, with other vessels and with
a concerned bridge tender are continuing on 157.075.

Now the CG Sta informs that the persons aboard the vessel are
abandoning the vessel and making their way to a sand bar. Two females
are clothed in red towels, one of the men is wearing blue.
Makes you wonder if this is a joy ride some politician was taking with
some ladies of the night.

Breaking news - A two seat Cessna single engine airplane crashed into a

That's actually part of a Fire Service training video - how not to set
a training fire. :)

Also part of that video was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
A volunteer fire department was having a smoke drill in an abandoned
house, only they over did it with the smoke - there was a spark and
the house blew up. Only you couldn't see it because of all the smoke.

The guys getting ready to do the entry for search and rescue were kind
of stunned - when the smoke cleared, no house - just this pile of
junk. When you slow mo the video, you can see where the house
expanded, then just imploded.

It suffers from the telling, but it was incredibly funny to watch.

Yes, I'd say he's a runner-up. He didn't get the gold, but maybe
trying for at least the bronze medal.

There should be an award for those who graciously remove their genes
from the poll.

Find out the guy was a bad alcoholic. Maybe he DID have a talking
horse..


From Wiki:

Mills was involved in a traffic incident on October 7, 1974. His car,
driven by a former Nixon staffer, was stopped by U.S. Park Police late
at night because the driver had not turned on the lights. Mills was
intoxicated, and his face was cut from a scuffle with Annabella
Battistella, better known as Fanne Fox, a stripper from Argentina.
When police approached the car, Foxe leapt from the car and jumped
into the nearby Tidal Basin. She was taken to St. Elizabeth's Mental
Hospital for treatment.

Despite the scandal, Mills was re-elected to Congress in November 1974
in a heavily Democratic year with nearly 60 percent of the vote. He
defeated the Republican Judy Petty. In December 1974, Mills, seemingly
drunk, was accompanied by Fanne Foxe's husband onstage at a Boston
strip club where Ms. Foxe was performing. Soon after this second
public incident, Mills stepped down from his chairmanship of the Ways
and Means Committee, acknowledged his alcoholism, joined Alcoholics
Anonymous, and checked himself into Palm Beach Institute at West Palm
Beach. [2] [3] He did not seek re-election in 1976, devoted his time
to counseling individual alcoholics, and raising funds for alcoholic
treatment centers, including one founded in his honor at Searcy,
Arkansas, the Wilbur D. Mills Treatment Center for Alcohol and Drugs.
He was succeeded by Jim Guy Tucker.


Regardless of which, or what party.


It happens.

Naw, that's for those who remove themselves *after* breeding.

He dove off the boat and was picked up immediately. He probably didn't
feel anything but the compression blast.
