They're just firefighters, they're not "news"...except on a slow news day when they do something REALLY great, like get a cat out of a tree.. then.. FIREFIGHTERS are like "Heroes" or something!
Come on, this is Bahston! If you don't have a Ph.D, you're just a dolt...till you... Save a Ph.D's ass that is

Why weren't they wearing their airpacks? Trying for some disability/medical leave? Not that I'd think anyone would do something like that in that corrupt cesspool known as Assachusetts.

Must have been all that burning British airline food.

It was unclear what caused the fire, but it had "nothing to do with terrorism," Orlandella said.

Means: "The Opposite"

Hi Granny

I made the same remark after posting the article. A headline writer must not have read the story. LOL.

Hello Selene,

the kids used to talk something, I think it was called
"Pig Latin", I never learned to do it.

These days, I think that is what I am hearing, as in this
article "No injuries" but 5 Firemen were hurt.

"Unknown Cause, but not caused by terrorists", means looks
like a terrorist has been playing around.

Years ago, I attempted learn how to read Indian writing on
the rocks.

A line meant a day.

If animals were drawn, then It told that there would be food there.

Moons, would tell how long they were there, etc.

We need the code book to read what is published today.
