Fire All the Way

A Light Most Odd

I wake with spooky gunk in my nose each morning as we continue to have lousy air quality, and I can only imagine what it's like further inland. My question, however, is why weather reports list the conditions as being "unhealthful" instead of "unhealthy"?

Divas Where You Least Expect Them

(Overheard at the Potrero Center Safeway. Fireman #1 is Italian American, #2 Asian American. On the1-5 fireman hotness scale, #1 is 3.5, #2 is a 4.8)

Fireman #1: I'll have to be careful bringing these bags into the station.

Fireman #2: Really? Why? Won't they be glad you went shopping?

Fireman #1: Nothing but divas in my firehouse. They won't touch anything that's from Safeway, even if it's organic. It has to be Rainbow or Whole Foods.

Fireman #2: I hate Rainbow.

Fireman #1: Me too. It's dirty and overpriced. But those divas at my firehouse love it.

Fireman #2: I'll take Safeway any day. Good prices and it's clean and convenient.

Fireman #1: They're even worse about soap. No Dial or Dove for these guys. It has to be Lush or Body Shop.

Fireman #2: Oh, I'm with them on that one. I have very sensitive skin.

Fireman #1: Diva.
