We’re fighting on all fronts here in “the Noke”. Our biggest battle right now has Retired Battalion Chief Bobby Slayton fighting to recover. I’m afraid his condition has not improved.

Sorry I haven’t been here over the past few days but whatever I came down with has had a pretty good hold on me. I have literally been in the bed and unable to move since Sunday night … and NOT because Santa’s Sexy Helpers had me worn down. At first, I thought that maybe one of them gave me “something” . You ...
