ANOTHER Fire Fighter Response!

"Joe just compared a job at the zoo to being a firefighter. Now you guys and girls see why I am here for laughs!"

At the Salisbury Zoo, Zookeepers, (especially my Wife) didn't sit around 8 hours a day on their asses WAITING for something to happen.

In TOTAL support of each and every Zookeeper, especially years ago when they had no loading dock, everything was physical, especially for the women.

My Wife dead lifted full wheel barrel's all the way up into a Dump Truck. They'd lift and carry 35,000 lbs. of frozen meat & fish that was delivered to the Zoo. They never used aerial cranes for anything, up until recently. Everything was done by hand and hard work. Hence 3 herniated disks in her back and then FIRED after they were through with her because she couldn't perform 100%. Yes Barrie Tilghman really takes care of those injured on the job, even former Fire Fighters.

Several times a year they would unload 150 bails of hay, not including all the 50 pound bags of feed brought out and around the Zoo daily.

Please don't even think you people do a quarter of the work than those employed at the Zoo. I'm NOT saying there weren't some extremely lazy Zookeepers, (men) that acted like little girls when it came to doing real work at the Zoo, because there were a fair share of those there and the women picked up the slack. I have plenty of photos to prove that. Fortunately, many of those people are gone.

Nevertheless, your comment is ridiculous. Oh, washing a Fire Truck is hard work, I forgot. NOW, that being said, herniate three disks in your back, (ON THE JOB) and do any one of your duties around the Fire Department and let's see what kind of men you really are?

Maybe the Mayor turned you down on pay increases because she knew how bad things are around the Fire Department? You obviously didn't earn/deserve a pay increase, right? The Police got their increases. The Zoo got all of their increases. Oh, that's right, you got a $10,000,000.00 Fire Station, I forgot.

Director Of Dlite, (Jim Rapp) Is Still Mooning People!

Talk about a classic! In today's Daily Times I found this article posted above and thought, this is a glutton for punishment. How appropriate that they don't mention Jim Rapp's name connected to such an event? The second photo is from a deposition and are the words of Jim Rapp himself. Perhaps they'll give it another name next year? Only in the mind of Jim Rapp could you connect a FULL MOON and Dlite!

Paddle, eh, thank you Sir, may I have another?

Is This Really A Color Photo?

Something about the color balance seems to be WAY OFF, wouldn't YOU agree?

The Price To Visit Their Zoo

A select few people want to bitch and complain about the Salisbury Zoo ever charging an entrance fee at the doors. Well, take a good hard look at what it cost PER PERSON just to visit their Zoo! A Family of only 3 is $213.00 A DAY!

I know, I have a GREAT idea. Pass it on to ALL the taxpayers to foot the bill for everyone coming through the Salisbury Zoo, even those visiting from Delaware.

Ron Alessi should be ashamed of himself for putting these expenses on everyone elses back. Think about this Ladies & Gentlemen. YOU have people on that Board making decisions for every taxpayer in the City, yet many of them, (including Alessi) DON'T LIVE IN THE CITY OF SALISBURY!

Isn't that like having a Mayor for Salisbury who lives in Somerset County? Oh, I'm sorry, that's more like your Police Chief, right? It's no wonder the City of Salisbury is so screwed up!

Today's Wildlife Photo

Yes, I took this picture. When you visit Disney and go to their Zoo, they have animals Americans want to see. It doesn't stink and everyone there waves and says hello at every opportunity they can. VERY refreshing!
