Casper, WY (AHN) - Emergency officials at the Casper, Wyoming, fire department quickly went into action Tuesday morning when they received a call in their office to rescue a worker hanging from 150 feet in the air from the city's Western Area Power Administration tower.
Authorities dispatched Casper Fire-EMS rescue and command units, two Natrona County sheriff's vehicles, a fire protection district rescue unit and a Life Flight helicopter only to discover that it was a dummy that was hanging, not a man.
According to AP reports, officials from the power company said the rescue-dummy had been suspended from the tower last week as part of a training exercise but it wasn't removed because there was bad weather, including lighting, that day.
However, a passerby got confused after seeing the dummy on the tower and called the fire department.
But what is more surprising was that the Casper Fire-EMS Department should have been aware of the presence of dummy, as they participated in the training exercise.

More Baby *August*

We have had lots of people asking to stick more picts up... so here they are. Our EMT class is now over and I hope that leaves more time jump on the bike, do some fishing and heck just enjoy the relatively nice weather. We have had some great days over the last few weeks. Doing EMT class and has really taken it out of all of us. Time for some recovery. As for Tawnya and *august* things really are going well. A few little discomforts here and there but really nothing out of left field. Looking like the friends are going to do a baby shower this next weekend on mothers day, how appropriate. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

*august* with all the parts!

What a week! As some know we had a stressfull weekend but all is well now and we have had a plesent week of work as normal and enjoying life. After out worries where set aside we got to enjoy an early look at our 10 Week 1 Day little *august* (dont worrie we are just having fun calling "it" that rather then "it). EMT class is going well the student are just now getting into their first hands-on stuff and they seem to be enjoying the movement. This weekend will be full of friends and family to enjoy da' big game (or at least the good ads!).

First Pictures

Ok Ok Ok time to really say something, maybe nothing too big but when I have something like this to share, why the heck not!!!! Our first check with the doctor they figured a due date around the 8th of August, well that has changed just a bit to August 27th. Made it through our second check and first pictures, with a great listen and look. On the way out of the doctors office we laughing started calling the baby August, rather then "it". We figured due date, name what then heck... now to really see what we can come up with for a name. If August turns out to be a girl (my vote ;-P) we are all good we just have to figure out one from the list. On the other hand if we get a boy...well... guess we have a few months.

Family TIME

What a great early Christmas present!!!! We had been guessing for a few weeks now, and found out for sure just before Christmas that Tawnya is pregnant! After our first check with the doctor we are now right around 8-9 weeks along with a due date of August 8th!!!! Yeah so that is just about the best news of the season. Other then that we where able to spend some good time with family and friends as always. Just another short post until I get better about coming up with good posts.
