Article says 'Woods Fun Center'.
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."
    To realize the value of nine  months:
    Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.
"Don't piss off old people The older we get, the less 'Life in Prison' is a deterrent."

well... wood burns. How dumb was it to name a place something that's flammable.
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

The local news coverage talked about the care they had to use when dealing with the fire due to the high amount of magnesium in the bikes that were burning. Water + Burning metals = badness.

Is the article wrong?

hehe.  But for the record, wood is not flammable.  It's combustible.

FYI, I was not near this shop.


If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

good thing their unsold inventory in this down economy is covered by insurance...
Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Although the fire was very close to a Ducati dealership.

In fact, there was an HD dealership on that corner too that is now closed. When I saw a fire there I thought maybe it was there.
