Anatomy of a Car Fire
This one isn’t for my friends in the fire service – it’s going to be far too basic for them to take much of an interest. But for everybody else, I thought it might be interesting to take you step by step through a recent car fire that we had. I happened to be wearing
A Person of Influence, and why People Care
Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of at a loss for words. The events in Orlando this past weekend – the actions of a sick, twisted gunman – are tragic beyond belief, and if you’re anything at all like me, they have left you feeling some combination of anger, nausea, disbelief, disgust,

“Paranormal Investigator:” behind the scenes of a TV shoot.
The adventure began on Thanksgiving Day. Kicking back with my wife, father-in-law, a houseful of rescued cats, my stinky-but-oh-so-adorable dog Greta, and a half-devoured turkey, the message that landed in my Inbox presented me with both an opportunity and one heck of a problem.
