I like Gary Sinise

Gary Sinise is the only reason to watch CSI New York. Well... actually there are other reasons to watch it... it's better than CSI Miami... that's not saying much. I'm watching CSI NY right now. It's distracting. I watched Head Cases earlier. Chris O'Donnell is ok, Adam Goldberg is better.

I bought gas today. I went to Basic Fuel. A car was stopped on the side of the road. White smoke was pouring out of the front end. After I purchased my fuel I noticed that the car was now issuing forth grey smoke. Grey smoke is bad smoke. It means fire. White smoke is bad, but not as bad as grey smoke. In addition to the grey smoke, there was some sort of fire like flames dripping from the front end of the car. I decided to get a better look, so I drove over to the K's Merchandise parking lot. About that time a firetruck arrived. From my new vantage point I could see the flames that were engulfing the entire front end of the vehicle. The firemen made short work of the flaming car. Actually the firemen seemed to be using more water than what was necessary to put out the fire. The hosed down the front end, the interior, under the car, the car's owner.... they just really sprayed a lot of water a lot of places. Then after they were done spraying things, one of the firemen brought out a sheet of paper and had the owner sign it. Which got me thinking... When firemen come to your house to put out a fire (or to your car) do they charge you for it? I just assumed they did it for free, but you know... I don't know. Hopefully I'll never find out... at least not in the way that the guy whose car caught fire did.
