Just to clarify - Cory is not a fireman... He's a fire-fighter! And that pic of Cory and da hoopty is also my favorite.

Hey, Spyder Woman -- you'd be correct in most folks' advocation for my avocation, but my occupation is primarily that of "dumb fireman."
Fire fighters are usually people who aren't hip to the history and traditions of the fire service.
Someone said (probably somebody a lot smarter than I am) that "A fireman is an uneducated nimrod who shovels coal into a boiler." Same cat, probably on a rant, said something like "Fire fighters are educated, structurally savvy people who put out fires."
What a dummy. This job was primarily filled in the early days by Irish guys. Not to start a flame war, but how "smart" do you have to be to die of a potato blight on an island surrounded by fish?
Fireman suits me just fine.
I agree on the photo -- I really like it. E-mail is fine for the high-res; cory DOT drake AT fmmc DOT army DOT mil ...

Maybe I was going back into the coma when I wrote comma.

It's a scandal in my family, Angela. My great-grandmother, Dad's side, was Irish. Her name was Sullivan.

I'm actually Irish and Swedish.
Which is why when I get drunk I have the overwhelming urge to chase reindeer...

Gordon: That pic is AWESOME!
Beautiful! I just made it my desktop wallpaper. Very cool!
Gordon - Very COOL pic - added to my screen saver!
All Y'all can thank Bill Pickering - he was standing on the side of the road and took that one.
I still remember some unidentified lady on the side of the road in some village we went through, who ran inside her house to get her camera and take a picture or two as we all rumbled by.....

Finally got a chance to sort through and post up my collection of pictures. Some of them come from Lane, and some from Cory. So, there might be a few in there some of you have seen before.
In any case, enjoy!
