RATED THE BEST


 Wednesday night Larry and I went to Mount Dora to see a play. We came in the afternoon so we could walk around the town and then have a lovely dinner at Pisces Rising. 
 Friends told us this is the theater they like the best. The shows are always well done.
 We saw a comedy, Run for your Wife.
 The guy with the white bandage was the taxi driver. He had two wives,unbeknownst to them. He followed a very tight schedule. It all came undone one night when he tried to help a little old lady being robbed by some boys. She thought he was in on it to and hit him in  the head, so he spent the night at the police station and the hospital. It was one situation after another.
 Larry and I are taking a course at Clermont called Citizen Academy. It is on Thursday night for eight weeks. We will learn all about the town's government and agencies. We had to miss the first class, because we were in  Memphis,TN at NOMADS annual meeting. Larry missed this week for he working as an angel on a Walk to Emmaus. 
The class this week learned about the Clermont Fire Company. It has a rating that only 176 other fire companies have in the world. They gave us a very informative presentation and then showed us the Rescue and Tower trucks.
 Some of the equipment they have to help in a rescue.
 The tower truck can go up 10 stories.
I got to experience being lifted up in this basket. One of the firefighters was harnessed right beside me. We went up about 2 stories and then down. I was well strapped in, and could hardly tell I was off the ground.  We can be real proud of Clermont Fire Company.
