Ok, all. Before this gets too out of hand, I have to tell you this sign was on the local
Volunteer Fire Hall in Elkton, Maryland, hundreds of miles from where Jim and Des each
live (separately still, as far as I know.) I photographed it and posted it just as a bit of
humor because of the similarity of names. Please note that in the photo there are NO last
names, so it could be any Jim and Des in the country (but most likely a couple from the
Northeast as Elkton is well-known as the Marriage Capitol of the region.
I'm very glad that Jim enjoyed the humor and the coincedence and I hope that no one was
really upset by my little joke. (Hey, he and Max go at it enough with their Battle of the
Superfurs!)
