Does a three alarm fire mean that three trucks are
sent out?
What's the difference between a fire engine and a fire truck?
--------------
ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
What is the world's only incorporated city where the
dead outnumber the living?
Colma, California. When burials were prohibited in
San Francisco, the residents of the city began burying
their dead in a valley five miles to the south. At first,
they called the new necropolis ("city of the dead")
Lawndale. But the name was changed back to Colma
when it was discovered that another town was already
using the Lawndale name. There are 17 cemeteries in
Colma, taking up about 73 percent of the land area of
the town. The LIVING population of Colma is
approximately 1,300 people. The Colma city website
proudly proclaims, "It's Great to be Alive in Colma!"
How did Dalmatians ever get associated with firehouses?
Dalmatians are the official mascots of fire fighters, but
why? Numerous theories abound, but nearly all point to
certain admirable traits in the Dalmatian that made him
the perfect dog to assist fire fighters. Fire trucks were
originally pulled by horses and Dalmatians are said to
have a calming effect on horses. Apparently, their duties
as fire-dogs were to help guide the horse-drawn trucks,
help calm the horses, protect fire fighting equipment
from theft, and keep the firehouse clear of rats. The unique
look of Dalmatians, with their spotted coat, was also a
factor. It made the dog easy to distinguish from other
dogs on the scene.

So You Think You Know English!
by Ken Darby
Most of us believe we have a good grasp on the English
language. I dare say that might be right. Give these a try.
Explain what they mean.
A bandage was wound around the wound.
This farm was used to produce produce.
This dump was so full it had to refuse more refuse.
Polish the Polish furniture.
Do not decide to desert your dessert in the desert.
No time like the present, so he decided to present the present.
A picture of a bass was on a bass drum.
Suddenly, the dove dove.
Do not object to the object.
If you're too close to the door you can't close it.
A pig farmer taught his smartest sow how to sow seeds.
A number of Novocain injections makes you number.
The tear in the picture made the owner shed a tear.
A cop must subject the subject to questions.
A seamstress and a sewer fell into the sewer.
It seems to me, we, all of us, assume we are saying the
right things. Yet how many of us put ourselves into the
shoes of a new immigrant, to see if they would understand
what we are saying.
For some reason the English language has within it
several hundreds of words that have more than one
common meaning. These words are spelled the same, but
often mean something altogether different in different
applications.
And we expect our readers to understand! We expect
them to draw conclusions from context, where we should
have written so clear they could understand from what
we wrote.
Ahh! the life of a politician. Often they say things right, but
then the press gets hold of it, puts a spin on it, and it comes
out different. It will come out different, too, when you look
at the same piece again three days later.
This happens because your moods affect how you interpret
what your senses give you. It takes training, to overcome
what our emotions would have us believe, and see things
as they factually are.
Don't feel bad. English is not the only language with these
kinds of difficulties. The point here, however, is that you
cannot always assume your audience knows what you
mean. Think clearly when writing and try placing yourself
in the shoes of up to six others, whom you know might
have a problem with what you are saying.
That way your chances of making your writing clear to
your reader becomes a lot better.

Thoughtful Gifts Of Love For Anyone
With Physical Disabilities
PART 4 of 10
Leverage isn't only used in the business world.
Designers of assistive devices create many items
that work on that principle. There are tools for
turning taps and stove-top element controls,
prying open ring-topped soda cans and
vacuum-sealed jars, or pressing down the
spray-button on aerosol cans. Here's a good trick
to open jars.moisten a cloth or towel and put the
jar on it. You can use the towel to open it or you
can use it to keep it from slipping. Always teach
them to press down with the palm of their hand to
open jar lids to avoid putting undue stress on
their finger joints. There is a product called
Dycem T on the market. It's a sheet that you put
on the counter to keep things from slipping, but
the towel works too. There are things you can do
that cost little or no money, and help. For
instance, wedge a cookie spatula between the
door's rubber seal and the body of the fridge,
then simply push on its handle with the palm of
your hand or your shoulder. And leave the spatula
hanging on a string for recurring use.
Alternatively, have someone make some fun
comfortable "bands" of material and tie them to
the fridge. Kitchen shears can cut through almost
anything - from twist ties, through envelopes,
cereal boxes, tough plastic security collars on
pill containers and foil lids on yoghurt and
coffee-cream containers. You know how hard they
are for us to get off? I was once in a restaurant
and had trouble getting the lid off one of these
beasts! So I tried harder...and sprayed cream all
over our table and the next! I discovered they
have a lot of cream in those little tubs!

THE NET'S BEST KEPT SECRET
<><><><>
THE SAGA OF PINEHILL
by Ken Darby
--------------------------------------
Eloise Henry, age 18 when the story began, and
David Wylie, age 20, were selected, by a
stranger in town, to take a dangerous trip, together.
The idea was that each was to take only the clothes
on their back, and go anywhere in the world where
the stranger took them. They were to be left there
to find their own way home. They had no money,
no identification, and no idea where they were.
Upon their safe return there was a million dollars
waiting in their bank account for them. If one did not
make it that money would go to the survivor. If neither
made it the money would go to their families.
The story deals with their adventures along the way
and leads into the only way they could survive. That was
for Eloise to learn higher law and commit her life to
that end. Along the way she learns how to perform
many a miracle.
The story leads to many friends, many adventures
and many places. As you read on, enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

He tore a strip off the boy, and began convincing the boy
that hell was the only choice he had, unless, of course,
he did what the priest says.
By this time the boy had had enough of doing what
everyone else was telling him. He needed time to think.
He told the priest to go away.
There was a policeman there who was opening the cell
door to admit the priest. The boy protested. "Stay out. I
don't want you here." The policeman continued.
The boy hollered, "STAY OUT. I DO NOT WANT YOU
HERE. DID YOU NOT HEAR ME? GO!"
It finally became obvious to the men the boy was serious.
"Boy, you will rot in hell, if you do not confess your sins."
And then the scene began to slowly disappear.
"See what happens in real life, when folks do not
understand the workings of the law, Ben?" asked Sam.
"Yeah, I know. I hate to think of the number of times I was
involved with our police acting like those guys. That young
man was caught up in a vicious trap of lies, cheating, stealing.
Worst of all the kids in his school acted like animals, kicking
the younger and weaker from the nest. He went home to
find his mother caught up in her trap. She was visited by a
filthy and vulgar user of a man who was caught up in his
trap, and then in comes his father who, too, was caught up
in his own trap. What a mess." said Ben.
"That is what happens, Ben, when people don't take the time
to stop and think. They live their lives as if they have no
choices, and they go around responding to their emotions
as if they were automatons on some kind of unchangeable
program. Having no knowledge of the law, they were simply
receiving the rewards of their own thinking and acting, quite
ignorant of the fact they could change their minds and
therefore change the things they were involved in and
with." said Sam.
"How many times does that happen in life Sam?" asked Ben.
"To a greater or to a lesser degree, Ben, it happens to
everyone. Anyone who does not study on these matters,
think about their relationship with their Maker, consider the
law 'As ye sow, so shall ye reap' is subject to things like
this, greater or lesser, happening in their lives. It is when
a person begins to think on the law, and on becoming quiet
and still, going inside to seek their Maker, that they finally
begin to use the law in their favor. Those who 'see' are the
ones whose lives go on in ways that benefit all around
them, their rewards are great." said Ben.
"But why aren't their schools to teach these
things?" asked Ben
"Almost impossible, Ben. Every man woman and child
that walks the face of the earth thinks they are right. The
education system is entrenched with thousands of ego
driven people in decision making positions each of whom
thinks they have the answer. They will not listen. The
church is the same. Any suggestion of change from what
they are now doing causes hard reactions. They will use
any of a hundred ways to drown out the voice of truth in
favor of the status quo. Their job is not as they say, to
provide the best for their charges, instead their jobs have
become one of preserving their own position and they
seek to go higher to have more rewards and more authority.
Then they all go home and say 'My! What a good boy am I.'
That is the way of life, Ben. That is why you must always
leave the choice up to an individual when you speak of
higher law." answered Sam.
"That is what you did with me, isn't it?" asked Ben, "You
simply acted as you knew you should, knowing that if I
was interested I would pursue it. That way you permitted
me to choose. It is quite true, Sam, that if you had come
'selling' I would have rejected you. So now I see what
you mean. It is imposed upon me that I should love all
mankind, at all times, and in all conditions, if I would serve.
I can always protect myself from harm, with higher law,
and therefore that, from this day should no longer be a
concern to me. My concerns should be to truly serve
those around me. Knowing the law, as I now do, that only
makes my life better anyway." said Ben.
"Now you're getting it Ben. That's right. It is almost
opposite of the way most people live their lives. There
is something else." said Sam.
"What?"

"It doesn't matter what is happening to the economy,

you're going to have a rich experience."
---- Mark Victor Hansen

HA! HA! HA!
An older couple had a son, who was still living with
them. The parents were a little worried, as the son
was still unable to decide about his future career, so
they decided to do a small test.
They took a ten-dollar bill, a bible, and a bottle of
whiskey, and put them on the front hall table... then
they hid, pretending they were not at home.
The father's plan was: "If our son takes the money, he
will be a businessman, if he takes the bible, he will be
a priest, but if he takes the bottle of whiskey, I'm afraid
our son will be a drunkard."
So the parents hid in the nearby closet and waited
nervously. Peeping through the keyhole they saw
their son arrive. The son saw the note they had left.
Then, he took the 10-dollar bill, looked at it against the
light, and slid it in his pocket.
After that, he took the bible, flicked through it, and
took it.
Finally he grabbed the bottle, opened it, and took an
appreciative whiff to be assured of the quality ...then
he left for his room, carrying all three items.
The father slapped his forehead, and said: "Darn,
it's even worse than I could ever have imagined.. "
"Our son is going to be a politician!"
