1/1/23 - Fire

This is the back of the little free library, which is in front of Fire Station #4 in Clarendon (Arlington). This has a lot of meaning for me, because I'm a volunteer firefighter in Arlington, and have actually ridden the ladder truck at this station, and this is an image of a ladder truck on the back of the little free library.

Not the prettiest photo, but I noticed it while on the Rockville Millennium path! Literal fire!

Found only in the FireSwamp, right? Near the ROUS's?

Seriously though, this photo made me happy. Different, and beautiful.

This is 225 Reinekers Lane, Alexandria, Va . In the early 90s this was the home of the DC area offices of A.T. Kearney, a renowned global consulting firm - the shipper side RR practice (which advised companies on how to reduce their rail freight bills through clever negotiating tactics) was at that location.

"Ken, I told the other principals that you add value to our rail practice, but this other partner said it was too hard to get you billable hours and they listened to him. Perhaps management consulting is not your thing. Plus we have to cut back as part of the EDS merger. We will give you a very good reference"

Pondering Martin Luther King's life and his speeches while at his memorial today, I thought about some of his struggles and goals. While he was fighting for equality for all he was also trying to light a FIRE in people to get involved and help make that change happen. It came through in many of the quotes on the wall but the one that really stood out to me was:

"Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in." April 18, 1959, Washington DC

Went out to take a picture of the fire station down the block but when I hopped on my bike and crossed the street there was a fireplace staring through me from the window of the Notch 8 apartment building. I made my get away before they called security on the guy taking pictures of their lobby through the window.

LOL. This is my favorite take on today's theme. Sorry you got fired.
