Got one from BRA. Told her Willis' maxim on making sure the pumper has a county permit.

It would be kinda cool, but I have the airborne image and can do it myself, I guess. Btw, I think the QR code is for the postage info to make it a working stamp.

This past Tuesday the 16th was National Healthcare Decisions Day. If you are like me, you have no idea what an advance directive is. Get your own free state-specific Advance Directive, or just learn...

If your smoke detectors are older than 8-10 years, this is a good opportunity to get new, reliable ones. Jefferson County received free ones from State Farm Insurance so apply for yours when the...

Yes, call the GIS/Addressing office at the number in the original post. They can confirm the physical address.

Not sure if the so-called "retirement" of Picassa and redirect to Google Photos has an impact, but here it is:
