Thanks for being generous. I guess that’s what bloggers do, as long as there’s credit. @Nick:

Either way, it's fine that you used the photo. That "being investigated" link was supposed to point to the following: <a href="http://bostonist.com/2008/04/17/boston-fire-department-041708.php" rel="nofollow">http://bostonist.com/2008/04/17/boston-fire-department-041708.php</a> Thanks for the compliments on my personal site; I've been working on a major update to it over the past year as well, but as the old saying goes: "the cobbler's children have no shoes". This is no doubt due to the amount of time I've been spending playing catch-up as the first ever full-time designer for MyFonts (a fact which probably isn't too surprising, but daunting nonetheless).

He likes to keep his fire engine clean, It's a clean machine.</em> In Britain they were always called firemen. The Beatles sing about them in Penny Lane:

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
It’s a clean machine.
