Random Sunday Night Thoughts

I recently talked with a colleague about the pros and cons of a paid versus volunteer fire department. I do not recall how we got on that subject. It was an occasion where "we got to talkin'" and it emerged. My colleague, Steve, asked me if Smalltown had paid or volunteer fire fighters. We have mostly volunteers. Steve told me that his town, which is larger than Smalltown, had paid firefighters. He asked if I was in favor of a standing fire department. I told him no. I think they should be allowed to sit down once in a while.

In other news, I found out:

The most expensive vehicle to operate per mile is the shopping cart.

The most profitable form of writing is the ransom note.
