While I had hoped to continue with my topic on the FDNY all the way through the end of this course, it unfortunately seems like that won't be happening. The main contributing factor is that the personal testimonials I was trying to get for this blog have not come through yet, and despite my best attempts at getting in touch with these certain people my efforts have not garnered any results.
The recent Wikipedia assignment made me realize as well that many aspects of the FDNY have already been covered. It's a difficult challenge to find something that hasn't been touched upon before. Now, I'm not one to back away from any challenge, however this presents me with an opportunity to attempt a brand new topic, on that I've personally been involved with for the past 18 years: Skiing.
We have four weeks left roughly. In those four weeks, I hope to talk about the technique of downhill skiing, the varying degree of trail difficulty, avalanche skiing, and what advancements can be made in the gear used by skiers themselves (check out elevator pitch #1 to see what I mean). Hope you all enjoy this as much as the FDNY posts!
I had the same experience. It's hard to write "from the outside" about something. Great idea to switch to your personal expertise.
