So I’m in Downtown Ypsilanti hanging out at The Savoy when someone runs up to me and hands me a press release. I thought it was particularly odd since the press release was actually dated for the next day, but crazy things are known to happen at The Savoy.
I’d like to encourage my readers that drive Toyotas to pull over to the side of the road so that in case your accelorator pedal sticks while reading this, you don’t drive into a bridge or something.

From Ypsilanti Fire Chief Jon Ichesco:
On January 15, 2010 the City of Ypsilanti Fire Department applied for Assistance to Fire Fighters SAFER GRANT to help offset staffing reductions that will take our department below OSHA requirements for an aggressive fire attack. We need letters of recommendations to support our application and hope you will provide a letter of support so that we can continue to protect the citizens of Ypsilanti and students and faculty at Eastern Michigan University.
