LandRonB Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 FYI - things to do with your kids during their school break or just to visit No affiliation - just a great place to visit w/your family and thought I'd share the promo During the month of February, the California Academy of Sciences will offer free general admission to active firefighters, police officers, sheriffs, CHP officers and EMTs in honor of their service to our communities (regular price is $29.95). To participate, individuals must show proof of occupation and a valid ID at the ticket window.

LandRonB Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Rupert - lol. I think that's just free breakfast from the Holiday Inn. Thanks Enrique - yes, I am sharing the info for anyone involved law inforcement, first responders e.g. fire fighers, EMTs.. Terry, if you are involved in emergency response team for your city or first responder (Search and Rescue) as a volunteer for your county, you also qualify; just show your ID.

TDeWitt Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Cool! Have all that stuff, you had just mentioned fire FIGHTERS, and I'm on the admin side of that. They said I got too loony going into the heat. I guess they don't like a guy that has that much enthusiasm to walk on hot coals and breath fire... hehe fire, hehe! Let's wait until the flame goes from light blue to white before we enter! hehe! Now they just let me look at sprinkler heads, exit signs, monitoring systems, etc. But they still can't take away my humour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoChef Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Sounds like someone has inhaled too many fumes...lol.. just kidding mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDeWitt Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Naaaw, they don't allow pot clubs in my City! But as far as fumes in a facility, I've had my share of walking into structures with NFPA standard placards (the triangle thingie with the four places for numbers on a specific color background, the higher the number(4 is the highest), the greater the risk) with me looking at a 3,3,4, with a no water and pyro added to the mix. Makes you wonder about the quality of life the workers inside have. Most are really tight controlling it all, but I have been in a few that were not so compliant. The worst are the small R&D labs that we find by "gee, what are you guy's doing here"? Or the time I missed an address pulled in next door to flip around the back loading dock area and found 4 shipping containers used as "storage" with the placard showing 4,4,4, explosives!
