1. I was curious about the "R-Start" so I read more.

He's from Start, a tiny unincorporated town which is the birthplace of Tim McGraw. The firehouse is a double garage with the words START FIRE on it.

He worked for Bobby Jindal. Oh well, I wish him good health anyway I guess.

2. "Start Fire" is so precious.

They ought not encourage the magas.
