Yard Walker 

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!

No. Those, my son, are yard walkers."

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
