Just found this story, thought you would like it.

I like doughnuts! Who doesn’t?

I am a patrol officer in Las Vegas, this is just my current job, I used to work in Los Angelis but the powers to be decided that I needed an easier beat, and then she left me for some Elvis impersonator. Enough about that, it has nothing to do with doughnuts.

Driving around 10 hours a day can be boring, very boring. Unlike the CSI shows you see on television real life is not like that, it’s writing tickets to everyone who pisses you off by trying to drive impaired or blind or looking for thieves after a burglary or robbery. To stay awake it is only natural to drink a lot of coffee and if you drink a lot of coffee on an empty stomach you get acid attacks so eating doughnuts is a natural.

I was first introduced to dougnnuts in my grandmother’s kitchen. They were globs of deep fat fried dough sprinkled with powdered sugar and we all loved them but when I was in junior high our town got a Duncan’ doughnut shop and every weekend included at least one stop at the Duncan’ to get a doughnut or two and a drink. I loved Duncan’s but my senior year of high school my dad moved our family to California and there I discovered Winchell’s, home of the fresh doughnut.

Winchell’s was like a little slice of heaven, Duncan’ had great doughnuts but Winchell’s had “Fresh hot donuts” and it was there that I became officially hooked. It wasn’t too many years before I began traveling across the country and in each city I tried the local varieties and each had something great and exciting going for it.

But a few years ago a little shop opened here called Krispy Kreme and when they opened I became their number one customer, It was great, they give you a fresh hot doughnut as soon as you walk in so you can curb your excitement while waiting in line to place your order. And you can watch the entire opera played out right there in front of you, from loading the dough into the hopper, popping out the well-loved circles, cooking, turning, icing and packaging, all in a glass walled room just inches away.

My partner just became “Health Conscious” a few weeks ago and decided that having doughnuts in the car was not healthy for “us”. Not healthy my ass, I have to have donuts to cut the acid of the gallons of coffee I drink a day. None the less I agreed to cut back. Unfortunately I am finding that Krispy Kreme’s are just too addictive. I found myself yesterday making a sandwich out of 2 glazed doughnuts with a chocolate covered donut as a filling, today I bought 6 dozen so I could hide them around places I frequent so that I would not have to go without and yet not have them in the car. If I don’t get a new partner I am thinking of quitting and buying a Krispy Kreme franchise.

LOOKING AT LIFE IN A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks by.

For this, I will give you a life span of 20 years."

The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only 10 years and I'll give you back the other 10?"

So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a 20-year life span."

The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for 20 years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back 10 like the dog did?"

And God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of 60 years."

The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for 60 years. How about 20 and I'll give back the other 40?"

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created man and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you 20 years."

But man said, "Only 20 years? Could you possibly give me my 20, the 40 the cow gave back, the 10 the monkey gave back, and the 10 the dog gave back; that makes 80, okay?"

"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

So that is why the first 20 years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next 40 years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next 10 years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last 10 years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you

Morning. Long day yesterday. All the fire trucks back in house and in service early this morning. Hit the shower, crawl in bed for a nap and up for work.

Hope everybody on here fared well through the fires.

Man I guess so ... glad you are just a little tired. I always worry when you guys are out fighting those things ... they can catch you off guard if you aren't careful (BTDT ... YIKES!!)

How's everybody else doing??

I will be SO GLAD to go get that thing they do to my neck done again. Hopefully this time will be the last time for a while!
