Ayer, MA - Pipe Major Ken Smith is helped into his uniform by his wife Susan. Ken played the bagpipes during the 1st Burns Supper that was held at Thirty-One Main honoring Robert Burns and his poetry, wit, and songs. Burn's was the first Poet Laureate of Scotland.

Burns Night, effectively a second national day in Scotland, is celebrated on 25 January with Burns suppers around the world, and is still more widely observed than the official national day, Saint Andrew's Day, or the proposed North American celebration Tartan Day. The format of Burns suppers has not changed since Robert's death in 1796. The basic format starts with a general welcome and announcements followed with the Selkirk Grace. Just post the grace comes the piping and cutting of the Haggis, where Robert's famous Address To a Haggis is read, and the haggis is cut open. The event usually allows for people to start eating just after the haggis is presented. This is when the reading called the "immortal memory", an overview of Robert's life and work is given; the event usually concludes with the singing of Auld Lang Syne.

Typical... last night there was a five alarm fire in my town. The problem was, I was driving back from Pennsylvania and the fire fighters had the fire 'knocked down' by the time I got there.

More typical... is the fact that instead for shooting what little action there was putting the rest of the fire out. I took pictures of things relating to ICS (Incident Command System).
