    A photographer for a national magazine was assigned to take pictures of a great forest fire. He was advised that a small plane would be waiting to fly him over the fire. The photographer arrived at the airstrip just an hour before sundown. Sure enough, a small Cessna airplane was waiting. He jumped in with his equipment and shouted, "Let's go!" The tense man sitting in the pilot's seat swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air, though flying erratically. "Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "and make several low-level passes." "Why?" asked the nervous pilot. "Because I'm going to take pictures!" yelled the photographer. "I'm a photographer, and photographers take pictures." The pilot replied, "You mean you're not the flight instructor?"

    "If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." Red Adair. nils illegitimus carborundum me, me, me

                I figured that was it. Hope it's going alright. We still haven't interviewed here for the position I told you about a while back. How'd the fight go?

                    I sprained my ankle during sparring the week before :doh: so I didn't get to fight. OUr other guys did very well. I'm scheduled again for the 11th or the 18th. The date depends on which promotion finds me an opponent.

                    If it moves, compile it

                        Sometimes there will be. Lately our promotions have been in Peoria, Springfield, and Decatur. If I get the 11th it'll be decatur. Otherwise it'll be peoria.
