Subject: VLC Fry-day: Putting out fires

Yesterday I rolled up to the first spot in the right lane of a busy
intersection near the interstate. I was in my westy. I saw a guy get out of
a huge seventies sled that had died in traffic and stick a cell phone to his
ear and walk through busy traffic to a gas station nearby. Unbeknownst to
him, the car, which had been smoking lighly from under the hood, started
smoking a lot and dropping what looked like burning chunks of plastic or
rubber onto the road beneath the engine compartment. <snip>
The moral of the story: one extinguisher won't do it, and nobody else has
one, so carry two.

No, the moral of the story? Bring marshmallows. ;~)
