Whitehall, New York. A small village in the North Country, “Birthplace of the American Navy” The activity, firefighter training. Tuesday’s lesson was throwing a reel of hose so that it uncoils in a straight line. The first guy did a boomerang with a half twist. Firefighter two was no better. I ducked for cover. This woman lined up and did a perfect shot, straight as an arrow.
She clenched her fists and yelled “I’m the man!” No one corrected her.
