    logo_sedonafiredistrictSedona AZ (May 22, 2015) – In the morning commuting hours of Thursday, May 21, the Sedona Fire District responded to a non-injury tanker truck rollover at the intersection of State Route 89A and Lower Red Rock Loop Road. The truck was hauling a chemical similar to asphalt used in the process of road building and maintenance. The tank overturned as a result of the driver making a turn from the highway onto the Lower Red Rock Loop Road, which caused the tank to rupture and leak its contents into the nearby ravine.

    Battalion Chief Dave Cochrane championed the actions of responding agencies, including Sedona Fire District’s B-Shift crews, the Sedona Police Department, the Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol Division (DPS), and responding units from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Battalion Chief Cochrane stated, “Our timely response and our strong partnerships with assisting agencies ensured that we were able to control the scene quickly, and minimize the impact of the incident to the greatest extent possible.”

      “The tank overturned as a result of the driver making a turn from the highway onto the Lower Red Rock Loop Road, which caused the tank to rupture and leak ”

      GEE! That’s all it took? Think I’ll never turn again!!

      Gee, Ern just don’t turn any further left than you have.

      Here is the explanation of Gee and Hw.

      Gee and haw are voice commands used to tell a draft animal to turn right or left, or to direct sled dogs pulling a sled or sleigh.[1][2] Gee (pronounced “jee”) means to turn to the off side (away from the driver). Haw means to turn to the near side (towards the driver).

      In the United States, the driver of draft animals sits on their left, so animals will turn right to the gee command, and left to the haw command. In England the driver stands to the right of the animals, reversing the relative directions they indicate (i.e., an English trained team of horses will “haw” to the right, while an American trained team will “haw” to the left — in both cases towards their driver.) As James Lloyd Clark points out, “Generally, work horses are not subject to a lot of international travel so the fear of great confusion on the farm is minimal.”[

      Well, Ron, Haw, Haw to you too.

      I didn’t realize I was entering a discussion of turning commands for draft animals, but, since you brought it up… that appears to be another failure of the article to disclose whether in fact, the truck was “geeing” or “hawing”.

      How can we have an “intelligent” discussion in a democracy if the media has not reported the facts. Further, we should not make assumptions. It is within the realm of possibility that the truck was indeed “Geeing”.

      Onward to further earth-shattering revelations!


    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
