The smokejumpers extinguished the fire after it burned less than an acre.

Sheesh, even Lenin said we’d *sell* him the rope he used to hang us!
Could you imagine being one of those Mexicans on the ground tending it? “Oh crap, jefe! They’re sending in the 82nd Airborne!”
No truth to the rumor that after extinguishing the fire, the smokejumpers went to Taco Bell and ran up a $377 tab.

Bump!
No truth at all. ;^)
Definitely a smokejumper, even if he’s never seen a parachute.
Salem isn’t as bad as Portland, Eugene or Ashland, that’s for sure. Eastern Oregon is the best part of the state, though.
I wish you well on your exams, and hope you have a wonderful, restful summer.
(Depending on where you are, I hope you actually HAVE summer! lol)
Thanks - I just hope that Spring gets here eventually.
