Hope it doesn't spread to the nuclear reactor!

The other night I watched, for the third time, the best motion picture of 1938- "The Adventures of Robin Hood". Every kid who ever wore short pants knows the story. In the movie Errol Flynn plays Robin Hood, Maid Marion is Olivia de Havilland, and Little John is Alan Hale, Sr, (Yes, Alan, Jr was...

That all makes perfect sense. But that was then. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that, 250 years ago, our Founding Fathers risked their lives so that every red-blooded, patriotic American firefighter would have the right to go to a job clinging to the side of a Mack Fire Truck with a...

STOP! Don't do it! I saw it in 1974. After the quint fiasco, the circus had come to Baltimore and dropped off Omaha Orange paint. The city got a great deal on it as I recall- left over, rejected and sent back, stolen. Who knows? Brand recognition is important to organizations. They teach the...

I'm impressed! Thanks Chief.
