Thoughts- Left to Right: "I am NOT happy about this BULLSHIT. This commie pile of crap shouldn't even BE here, never mind trying to brainwash these people." "I'm not happy. I wonder if I look like I'm not happy. I think I do. Whatever, I'm going along with my boss on this one." "That blond in the third row is sure pretty. I think I'm smitten. Sigh. I'm so damn bored and tired. When will this idiot shut up so I can go home?" "Hmmm, this guy in interesting. I can't say I like his politics, but this is a rather interesting story." Fidel: "So, first we ran up to the palace of President Batista and we find he's not even there. So we go in and find his dining room all set for dinner. His montuno is sitting already dished out for his guests. I try the first bowl and I say, 'Aye ya ya, this is muy caliente.' Then I try the next and say, 'Se formo, this is muy frio.'

"Ok, let's see if I got this straight; this little thing goes in here but round end or flat end first? Hmmm, no, NOT in the long part, in the spinny part in one of those holes. But which hole? Dammit, it was so easy when we used flintlocks, this shit is for the birds."

A 1973 Ford Galaxie 500 behind the old New Bedford HQ Garage.The uniformed guy is Tacky Pragana. He's 87 years old now, and looks the same as he does in the picture. Rides a Harley unless there's snow on the ground and is the volunteer manager of the department gym. He can still kick most of our asses and not break a sweat.
