I explained in another thread. I'll do it again if you really want.

Carrot juice is murder. Eat a cow instead.

Support Free Range Lettuce!

Fire fighters - I have no idea what makes these folk tick,
and don't really want to know.

Here's a short, exciting story today about two of them doing their thing
at midnight on the Willamette River in flood stage with all sorts of logs and debris coming down.

Portland firefighters risk their lives, rescue man from frigid Willamette River

On the Kindergarten field trip this year, one of the firefighters told me that if you get caught burning your place down for the insurance, and firefighters were called to the scene, you are automatically on the hook for attempted murder charges as well, even if all they did was hose it from the outside. It is considered a given that they risk their lives on every call.

That makes sense since more of them die from heart attacks, and crashes on the way, around here.

Sorry Rhianne. This is just a sensitive topic for me.
