Yes. Flames. That's the other effect that the Zima has with me. Three
Fridays ago after the meeting of the cabal (TINC), I was walking to my
53 'Vette when one of those dog-walkers came up behind me. I
scorched a Corgi and ignited a hapless Dalmation who was astonished
that the fire came to him for a change although the white bandages
blended right in on the little guy. I tell you we need to do something
before we all go into full afterburner.

I can't wait for the B&J Coolers. Maybe then we'll also trail
different colors. Red, white, (are they the guys who make that blue
stuff...?)
