In most of those outback communities they are all volunteer firefighters. They are a hardy bunch so 74 is not unusual.
State Govmnt Supplies their equipment nowadays but years ago the community had to fund everything themselves.

Mailman had some kind of tool to break ice.

He whacked it good.

Nursing home called this morning and said mom was fading and had stopped eating and drinking, they offered me a compassionate visit. So I headed over, got my rapid COVID test, gloves, mask, shield and gown. I stayed with her about an hour, she opened her eyes some and tried to speak once I think. She opened them more when I told her I had to leave so stayed past my allotted time.
I told her to relax and rest and when it’s time my dad and brother would come for her. I expect the call anytime.
Almost 98 years of constant motion, what a great life for a great mom.

Prayers Randy

She will live in God's grace now... Condolences for you.

Woke up today to find we have lost another Iconic Outback Pub. The Tibbooburra pub burnt down last night and the Muckadilla pub burnt a couple of weeks ago. Very sad for those folk in those towns. Pubs are a social hub out there.
