There was a terrible fire at Tara, the plantation where Scarlett O'Hara lived. Though many items were destroyed, quite a few things were saved. Firefighters rescued several books, which they later helped carry back into the building. Ms. O'Hara wanted the salvaged books placed on a pile of items belonging to Mr. Butler. She told them to put the read stuff on the Rhett stuff.

So this firefighter had a Dalmatian that was always getting loose at the station and running into the street. This was only a problem during the day, as the station doors were closed at night. And as the station was the only building on the block, drivers always saw the dog in time. One morning, however, a heavy mist had settled across the area and the drivers didn�t see the spotted dog when he darted out of the station. He died and the grieving firefighter forever remembered that day whenever the weather conditions repeated themselves. He even gave it a name. It was� wait for it� Sparky the dire fog.

That's it for me! Good night everybody!
