A U.S. Navy "Zippo" flamethrower

The unreliability of electronic ignition systems meant that operators sometimes had to use a Zippo lighter to ignite the fuel as it left the nozzle.

Speaking of flames, I went to extinguish the candles in the home of the couple for whom I'm doing a series of projects while they're out of town. I did not--the candles are part of their shrine to their son who killed himself last fall.

I couldn't understand why a friend quit running her website which normally featured news articles and postings by a bunch of friends--then I was surprised to discover she was recovering from a brain tumor--Now, thanks to over thirty radiation treatments, she's back from the goner list to her doctor proudly displaying a "beautiful" MRI.

It's hard to keep up; not hard to pray.

[Forty-plus years ago] A friend and I discovered a syringe of antifreeze shot through a candle flame would engulf his science fair robots in fireballs.

Apparently Howard Dean mistakenly used one of those instead of his thorazine-filled syringe, firing him up [too much] knocking him out of contention last year.

Mm mm mm mm mm Toasty!

And speaking of "seared"--anybody seen the Cambodian Candidate?
