Texas Rangers, DPS and the FBI are investigating the entire county government of Rockwall County.

It looks like there is the makings here for a good movie.

Dude in my head I have been writing the history of Rockwall County as a mini-series for quite a while. It's got everything a good TV series needs, money, sex, drugs, corrupt politicians, pretty secretaries sleeping their way up the corporate ladder, enough bootleggers a local Baptist church had a still under the podium, wild teenagers and wrapped in the smallest county in Texas where all the players are related since there are so few people living there.

It's gonna be called "Texas Aluminum" and it's mine.

"Texas Aluminum"???

Love it!

From what I understand...Now that you have stated in a public forum that its "in your head"...Thats intellectual property, and you have legal claims and precidence over any production that actually happens on this issue...

A lawyer should come in here and tell me I'm full of beans, but I think you hit a gold mine here...

As we ALL piled onto the trucks someone suggested that maybe we should leave one person behind to guard the guns, at least until the radio operator or ladies' auxiliary arrived. Boy, them were the days.

Holy crap Jim!

I bet it was the rookie of the bunch that got left behind???

I might have been slightly askew to consider coming back to the station if he/she was still there with all that firepower...

Glad I grew up and learned pump ops, instead of going into those perfectly good "burning structures"...

I used to be a member with Webster VFD...

Are you talking about that new station over on Egret Bay Blvd???

Or the old stationhouse I recall over off of Hwy 3 near the new PD building...

Now that it is a semi-paid organization (I left before that idea came to pass), I am sure the 30.06 idea came straight from the city who knew there were a bunch of us that were "gun enthusiast" who did a lot of shooting and hunting. And some of us even had CHL's! Gasp!

And that if we wanted to work a shift or hang out waiting for a call...That more than likely we'd have a firearm in our vehicles...But we knew we should not bring one into the building, knowing we probably wouldn't have time to secure the weapon if we got a call...Obviously...

We figured that was a good thing...But knowing a city government tends to not trust us at all anyway...Thats what probably drove the issue to post the facility...

Anyway...Long on gas I suppose...
