I hardly think of the replacement knee except for its odd occasional lurching forward. No pain at all. The other knee has been doing better in the warmer weather. How it will be once the cold sets in, I don't know. I'm having financial doubts about getting it replaced this winter.<br /><br />As for Jackie S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00329275604115301953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20709652.post-66432231989500449102009-09-06T17:52:34.223-04:002009-09-06T17:52:34.223-04:00Jackie, great photos.

I know in the past if our alarm went off, my scanner would announce a "central station" alarm within a few minutes. Whether it came into their station or a company which calls them, I don't know. I do know that most of the fire sensors I see are still dismantled with the wires tied off with electrical tape.

I was trying to follow the chain-of-command, which became murky. <br />Is a building hard-wired directly to the fire department or does it go through an alarm company first?<br />If the fire department comes because the alarm is sounding in the building, but they didn't know until someone called, does the fire department report RyzandShynnoreply@blogger.com
