It is flat out amazing, mind-boggling and frustrating how lots of folks respond (or don’t respond) to Emergency Vehicles today.  It happens often, but I saw it again recently.  A fire engine slowly approached and entered an intersection with sirens and horns at full volume (and I mean FULL).  You’ve seen these trucks…they’re HUGE…they’re red (actually, this one was neon green) and…
