ABOUT THAT PAST MONDAY TRAFFIC JAM ON ROUTE 9...
HERE ARE THE DETAILS VIA THE CROTON FIRE DEPT. FB PAGE---Monday Morning traffic heading south on Route 9 was backed up today due to two separate and back to back incidents. Facebook
At 9am, units were dispatched to southbound Route 9 on the Croton River Bridge for a Motor-Vehicle Accident. 2083, E118, T10 & U14 arrived to find one car into the Jersey Barrier. EMS checked the driver whom declined medical attention.
While still on scene, a Deputy Chief from Ossining FD pulled up on a cement truck on fire just north of the original call closer to Croton Point Avenue. A line was stretched from T10 and members made a quick knockdown of the fire. A hydraulic line was damaged as part of this fire and spilled hydraulic oil on the roadway and in to catch basins leading to the river below. Members worked to contain the spill and minimize the impact on the water below. Units operated for close to 80 minutes before taking up. 2083, E118, T10, R18 & U14 were on scene.

OUR ANNUAL POST - REMEMBERING CANDY BOXES & ORANGES...AT CHRISTMAS... VINTAGE AND DIY ITEMS TOO
Stumbling across this wonderful 1915 ad again for giving oranges at Christmas--click on the photo--we were reminded of a great article by Paul Race of Family Christmas Online(TM):
REMEMBERING: CANDY BOXES & ORANGES
Those of you who grew up with these things may think that it's silly to commemorate something so ubiquitous as Christmas candy boxes and oranges being given out at Christmas. But, like many other North American Christmas traditions, it is worth documenting now in case it goes the way of the putz* and the C-6 light bulb. And the candy box art, humble as it was, was as clear a reflection of its times as any greeting card art or Christmas tree decorations of the same period.
