I was driving down 694 and saw a fire department hook and ladder parked in the middle of an overpass, ladder raised, flying Old Glory high and proud.

I see Long Prairie had their ladder fire truck out and some gear in a salute to 911

They were out on a bridge just north of Blaine on hwy 65... everyone was honking as we went under the bridge.

On Sunday on 60 Minutes they did the entire show on the FDNY on that day. What a bunch of heroes ..............On September 11, 2001, virtually all of the more than 8,600 firefighters in the FDNY responded to the attacks at the World Trade Center. Many were lucky enough to go home to their families but most still have very serious medical issues. However, 343 never made it that far.

I figg'ert that yesterday was as good as any to replace mom's flag.

Trouble is...  those used nylon flags don't burn well.  You need a really big, really hot fire to get the job done.

That is one heck of a lot of firefighters in NY.  My hats off to all of you.

Those are some darn big trout.

[Steve-o]

When they get that big, they hardly look like trout anymore - especially that record-breaking brown.

[Dotch]

Yep, much larger than what we were used to catching in the Spring Valley Creek. Or Suzy's Sewer as we used to call it, named after Suzy's grocery store that flushed their toilet into the creek. Suzy didn't  chew her corn very well so fishing sucked a lot of the time. Ah, the good old days...
