Letters from the Chief

If you need parts for any of your Rescues, please get with your Captain's, BC's and the shops to assist you.  I appreciate the innovation, but please do not remove, borrow, scavenge, salvage, appropriate, acquire, or take any parts from the old Rescue.  Fleet services are going to sell this apparatus and need to have all components in place and intact.  I think the new owner would like to have functioning or actual doors, door locks, lights, windows, etc... with their new/used Rescue.
Thanks for your help.


intact  adj. unimpaired or uninjured; kept or left whole

Fuel and Fireworks

The other day we stopped at the gas station to get gas.  The kids were completely engrossed in the movie they were watching and as soon as Jason turned off the van the traditional moaning and groaning began.  Jason got out to pump gas while I stayed in the van with the kids. 

Kids:  I wanna watch the movie.
Me:  When dad is done you can.
Kids:  How long?
Me:  A few minutes.
Kids: **loud protesting**
Hannah:  Please turn on the van.
Me:  Do you want to blow dad up?
Hannah:  **considering my question**  Would there be fireworks?  I say yes, if there would be fireworks.
Me:  **speechless**

gas  noun, 1) a state of matter in which a substance like air is capable of infinitely expanding, has no fixed form or volume and takes the shape of its container  2) the short word for gasoline
