How this blog got its name
------------------------------------
There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.
-----------------------------------
Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

God likes the Earth planet He made just fine… but if He had to do it over He’d make it less watery, maybe add a few more elbows on the humans, and try to get dinosaurs to last a lil’ longer so the smaller dinosaurs could be some sweet pets for the humans.
All things considered though, God is happy with how things turned out. Sometimes, He has alarmingly low standards.
