Firefighter Tony Waller Man's Up & Speaks His Mind

"You know I have stayed out of the fray until now....

Yes, this Tony Waller and I did not start this but I will end this as far as my name is concerned. The stupid m'frs that want to take shots at me ought to have the 'nads to sign their posts. However I know they will never do that becuase they do have any honor, courage or commitment to their craft as firefighters. Matter of fact these are the same people who suck up to the Department leadership in person and then turn around and talk bad or belittle them while their back is turned. In case you can't figure it out they are a bunch of little d*ck cowards.

Neither one of you stupid, lowlife SOB's who takes shots at me can put a candle to me and my accomplishments in life. I may not be the most outstanding firefighter however none of you have the right to judge me. In fact some of you have skeletons in your own closets as well. Don't think I cannot discern who some of the post are because your writing styles mimic the same mannerism that I have seen around the firestation.

What amazes me is that you want to make comments beyond the firestation about things such as my military career. Humm ... I want to now what makes you uniquely qualified to comment? In reality your are small-minded little pr&cks that have never done anything beyond the confines of Salisbury, MD or Wicomico County.

The reason why I was not selected for the LT. position because Steve Records made that choice. I do have a history with him and it is not all good. However, He and Salisbury Fire Department will have to live with that decision that they made.

I do have choices in my life and they include how I will volunteer my time at Salisbury Fire Department. Now please keep me the f*ck out of this conversation or I will start calling people out by name and airing your dirty laundry."

ONLY REAL MEN USING THEIR REAL NAMES NEED RESPOND.

WICOMICO COUNTY OUT OF TOUCH W/ PICKENS PLAN

The weblink previously posted for Wicomico County's purchase of 87 Octane gasoline and Diesel fuel is not in compliance with the T. Boone Picken's plan.

http://www.wicomicocounty.org/purchase/SEALED%20BIDS/MOTOR%20FUEL%202008.htm

The Picken's plan proposes to substitute domestic propane gas as a replacement to importing expensive foreign oil. This is especially true for mass transits as is being implemented by the nation's largest mass transit LAMT.

Wicomico County is not in compliance with adhering to America's comprehensive energy plan for weaning our dependence on expensive foreign oil.

The above bid notice speaks volumes as to Wicomico County's Energy policy.

ALL CITIZENS SHOULD HEED THIS OFFICIAL NOTICE!

New Collector Road Near Bypass Almost Complete



While workers clearly prove they are on the move, this new collector road through the west end of Salisbury looks very close to seeing pavement and completion. I must admit, it sure is going to make life a lot easier on this people living in Nithsdale and that end of town.

50% SOLD?


I'm sure everyone remembers the big billboard sign on the corner of this property stating 50% of these Condos were sold. Were you one of the people that purchased one of these Units? If so, (I doubt anyone actually did) did you get your money back? Are you fighting them in Court? Do you believe these signs any more stating they're 50% sold when they post that? Do you think it's illegal for these companies to lie to people?

What I can tell you is, this is a perfect example of how Salisbury cannot afford to keep growing and annexing all over the place. There's so much product on the market right now, people are waiting forever to get their property sold and the prices are dropping so fast it isn't funny. Just look at the Old Mall Property. NOTHING is happening there and I've heard recently that people are becoming soft on the property owners because the market is so soft. You people are falling for it hook, line and sinker.

What do you think the City should do about this piece of property sitting like it is?

Neighbors Not Being Neighborly



Jeremy Gordy has been known to be a nuisance to his neighborhood and community with numerous calls to the City for a multitude of violations. A few weeks ago neighbors called about trash being stored on his property and when the City came out AGAIN to inspect the situation, they felt that considering it was on a trailer, it would soon find its way to the Dump. NOT!

A letter was sent out to Mr. Gordy asking him to remove the trash but nothing has come of it. What's your feelings on neighbors who violate the City's Codes? Have you had success dealing with the City to have the situation corrected in a timely manor? Do you think leaders lead by example?

Question of the Day, Fri 8/8

This question brought to you by Gin:

I have heard many people talking about ethanol that's being added to gasoline. Some have said they have had problems with their cars after using it for a while.

Do you have any opinion on ethanol? Do you like it/dislike it? Have you seen any change? Have you heard of others having problems with the additive? Do you find it burns just like regular gasoline?

City To Sell Off Fire Trucks


The Fire Department is going to declare Ladder 16 and the 88 Pierce Arrow Fire Engine as surplus. Before they go cutting them in half and stick them through a wall at the new Fire Station, perhaps they should give this some real effort to sell these things?
