In my neck of the woods, you called 844-1212 for the time and 936-1212 for a weather report. I think those numbers worked until the early 1980s.

True story. Whenever we went to the shopping district, our parents would drop us off and tell us to be at the pick up area at a certain time. We would have a good time, but we would stop at the pay phones up and down the street. We would check the time and by using those payphones we would know when to be at the pick up spot.

We would also "call the weather" to find out how to dress when we were going out or check for rain or snow.

Those were simpler times, but we lived through the darkness of pre-internet America only to be delivered into the hell hole that is instant access America of today.
Also when you were ready to be picked up at the mall after spending your allowance at aladians castle you would call home collect.
Mom would answer the phone, they would say John is calling collect will you accept the charges.
Mom would hang up get in the car and come pick you up.
 
Anti-2nd amendment POS.

There are very few "entertainers" that I agree with. The few that I think I MIGHT agree with hold their cards so close to their chest you really don't know where they stand, with the others being so loud and the few being so quiet you assume you know, but you really don't.

There are few things I will flat boycott and not consume their product, Jane Fonda, NFL, or MLB, Nike. Some I have little use for, and could take or leave. But I am not going to divorce myself from all music TV and film because of politics. Just seem flat stupid to me.
 
I think the point was ... vehicles may be damaged if we need to use emergency measures. If you can move them before evacuation do so.

But as a fellow Texan, I get your point.
More to the point, the pilots have to train… timing the release is both a science and an art. Better to screw up and release too early or too late on a simulated target than on a real fire. Every ‘shot’ has to count in the field because lives and real property are at risk.

Sure, they’ll train on live events as well, but your first time shouldn’t be on a drop where it has to count.
