I saw One Man's Wilderness on PBS & got the book from my Mom. Excellent & enthralling!
Firefighter personnel on scene of any non-specific emergency scene who's sole purpose is to give one the illusion of somewhat importance. Yard Walkers tend to appear busy, and almost always are communicating with some unknown entity via hand held radio. The Yard Walker's most difficult job is to answer any relevant question about the patient when asked by EMS personnel. A Yard Walker is the visual stereotype of your friendly neighborhood hero....the Firefighter. No matter how well they play it off, it's best to acknowledge their "importance" and thank them for their service.
" Dispatch to ambulance unit responding, be advised there is one patient. 5 yard walkers are on scene as well."
"Dad, look at all the firemen working in that yard!

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and GeorgesRd."
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.
Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
