Emergency Responder Standards, Heat Stress and Training Tactics: What You’re Reading This Month
Summer has only meteorologically begun, but it feels like summer is already one-third over.
I’m lucky to live by a lake, but I regret that I haven’t yet put my toes in the sand or watched the sun set over the water. I hope to rectify that this weekend.
I hope that wherever you are and whatever you have planned, you can find a simple way to appreciate today. After all, we only get to enjoy this day once. That is, unless you find yourself in a “Groundhog Day” scenario. In that case, I hope you can build a snowman and learn to play piano.
Until next time, stay safe and be well!
