Search Results: wanting more

I posted stats from his last game. . So he has played 23 seasons. So he is 41 . He almost had a Triple Double last night. 20 Points , 10 Assists, 7 Rebounds , 1 steal, and 1 Block. Lakers could get a 20 years old player to put those stats up. If you compare this years stats with past years. His 22 points a game is not his worse. Almost every stat this year is better than other some of his other years.

Is he better than Jordan? It is no contest. He is twice the player of Jordan was. 10,000 more points. Almost twice as many assists. More rebounds. Jordan soon will not be in top 10 in points scored. Jordan is 4th all time in Steals (which he really fouled but officials couldn't call it).. Jordan is 7th all time in missed shots, which is why he didn't have many Assists. Jordan was a ball hog and James isn't. James is over 50% shooting and Jordan is in the 40's.

So how long will James play? I see him going for 25 years. No one has played that long. I believe he will play until his shooting percentage is in danger of falling below 50% . I also think he wants to be in Top 25 all time in every stat kept. He has a chance. The only stat he won;t be in top 10 in is Steals it looks like.

There has been an ongoing shortage for years of fire trucks/apparatus and ambulances. In addition, the nation is grappling with a nationwide firefighter shortage. A senator who owns a private ambulance company told me there is also a shortage of EMS personnel.

Nationwide, there has been a 20% drop in volunteer firefighter participation since 1985. 20 percent may seems small, but it is huge.

At the same time, the fire service and EMS has not evolved too much in years, if perhaps, decades. Policymakers and state leaders have neglected fire, rescue, and EMS while everyday citizens haven't noticed much. The 100% volunteer model of service is severely outdated today, and with people having to work multiple full time jobs to stay afloat along with pessimism and nihilism in younger generations regarding the overall state of the country, we can see why no one wants to put in the strenuous training hours and time.

The only branch under the public safety realm that I have seen sustain itself and even thrive in many cases is law enforcement.

A man died instantly (within a few minutes) on the 1st of the year in my area... Was driving down the road he's always driven, a car pulled out and wham! He was gone. His car absorbed the impact amazingly... but not well enough.

Life is wonderful for many of us... but it is also fleeting in a second. So be thankful you are reading this... you are alive!

Do you have your affairs in order, in case you are recalled back into whence you came from?

If not, what will motivate you to do that?

- whom will care for your pets
