    So sue the guy for worrying about his son and future daughter-in-law.

    I know this strip was done well before the tragedy in Arizona yesterday….but the sentiment should not be ignored. They DO have a dangerous job…every time they get called out, it could be their last.

    It’s nice to see the family together. Brad and Toni make a very nice looking couple. BTW, they may be getting paid overtime if they are working off their shift.

    Quill’s complete reply might be, “Thanks for asking so I could get away from that pest at drama camp!”

    PS: Shannon, you’ll be walking down an AISLE, not an alley! LOL

    Since this is a time of year when fireworks will be enjoyed by many, there is some interesting information on the types of effects like the “diadem”, the “ring”, the “spider” “horsetail” and the “chrysantemum” displays that they make when they explode in the sky:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireworks==And as yesterday, I say to all: be smart, be safe! (that includes road safety, including making arrangements if you’re inclined to enjoy “adult beverages”, as well as pyro safety…)

    For many, saying, “Well, be careful.” Means, “I love you and don’t want to see you hurt.”.It doesn’t always mean, “I don’t have confidence in what you’re doing”, or “I don’t think you able to do that.”

    Interesting that firefighters on standby at an event would be wearing their Class "A"s. Most companies I’m familiar with would at least be in their bunker pants. Maybe later…

    “Interesting that firefighters on standby at an event would be wearing their Class "A"s. Most companies I’m familiar with would at least be in their bunker pants. Maybe later…"

    In my previous life as an EMT, our squad had either white coveralls, or a “dress uniform” either of which, per the by-laws, were acceptable while taking a duty call, although coveralls were preferred. Sometimes, when people would respond directly to the scene from their homes, all they’d have as a windbreaker jacket with screen printed insignia.

    IIRC, the “day duty” uniform on “Emergency!” was the class “A” and all they’d put on were the coats. At night, they had the bunker pants near the bed and would put them on for night calls. But that could be the “old ways” now.

    Luann was being jerky, but not actually breaking any rules that had been established. Her punishment for being a rotten brat is something that is over by now. She had to detail the cars, or wash the windows or something. Every bad behavior is not worth ruining her whole summer over. This one only merited a little punishment.

    The tragedy is that most people think firefighters just sit around the firehouse and play poker. The average person – like you – figures he knows all about it, and grumps about the pensions that fire fighters earn. Even trained professionals die in fires, as Arizona’s recent events show.

    And find another way to insult Frank, if you have to do that. Don’t call him a ‘woman’ because you don’t like him.

    I hope that Tiffany doesn’t stop by and steal Quill from Luann. BTW, to Greg Evans: I hope that Tiffany doesn’t get wind of Brad and Toni’s upcoming wedding because after the scam that cost her the title of Miss Chamber of Commerace (as Sheraton St. Louis), I’m willing to bet they don’t want anything to do with her in the future, not even INVITE her.

    So much happening today; so little time!*

    Brad & Toni are holding hands & commingling with family, probably each of which is in violation of Dept. regs.*Quill & Luann are holding hands & commingling with each other, probably each of which is in violation of her grounding regs.*Mom & Dad are not even touching, which shows what happens after marriage.*Dad is acting like a dad, Mom is acting like a smitten mother-in-law, Quill is acting like a smiting son-in-law-to-be, and Shannon is acting like a Princess. *Shannon’s self-confidence is refreshing— if only it could be kept into puberty. Shannon’s self-confidence is annoying— if only it weren’t based on egoism.

    “except that the Professional trained Firefighters are not about to dash off on assignment.. they’re just standing there”^I might be able to explain that…. since Toni explained yesterday that they were on assignment for the 4th, well…. this is it…. It could be safely assumed that there would be a parade, and they probably had “parade duty”, to be there on hand to assist at a certain section of the parade (with differing units manning different sections) and also during the fireworks portion, and the DeGroots could have been able to sit near their particular station during the events…..

    Funny, this has the feel of a Sunday Strip… and to the one who said that Shannon isn’t very bright, you can’t have read this strip very often, Shannon is actually quite precocious, but, right now, she’s acting like what she is, a 6 yr old girl.

    “Oh, those would be bad things no one wants to happen. Let’s think happy thoughts like a fireworks takes of in the wrong direction…”

    That was me, Levi, not @IamJayBluE. ;-)

    I considered it because the setting in this morning’s master strip just seems way too ideal, and too early in the week. And given that Greg has handled serious subjects previously (i.e. Delta’s cancer, school bullying, workplace harassment, etc. etc.)…

    I want good things also. I just don’t want Greg throwing us a curve ball at this point.

    Honestly, I think April of ‘14 would be the date (which would be a year to the day of the proposal)….. keep forgetting that the year is more than halfway over, with five months to go (everyone knows the month you’re in goes by fast, as we count down for each weekend…even faster, during football season… heh heh….)…==So if you are saying that it would be two years, then I chalk that up to “Luanniverse” time… if it’s less (like at year’s end) that would have to be some serious non stop arcs for B&T for a month or two, maybe… the only thing we can do is wait and see…. but of course as we are both saying, there’s PLENTY of adventures leading up to it… but I had expected it in April of ’14…..

    Hmm. Ann, blaming Toni for her sudden departure from Weenie World, steals Luann’s bridesmaid dress, dons some Clark Kent glasses, and walks down the aisle behind her. She waits patiently for “Does anyone have a reason why these two should not wed.” She whips off the specs, revealing her true identity, but not the fact that the “bump” under her dress is actually a basketball. She shouts “I have a reason. Brad has to marry me after doing THIS to me.” At this point Luann comes running down the aisle in her underwear and stabs Ann in the stomach, bursting the basketball. TJ and Ms Phelps run over and drag Ann off to Cafe TJ. The wedding proceeds.
