Jones Law of the Day

Responsibility without authority is nothing. -- Bill Jones (Fatty)
Bird Fire
In 1976 the proud 60' tall mascot of the Chehalis store caught fire and was burned to a crisp. According to reports a car had an engine fire while driving between its legs. The fire jumped to the bird, which had been recently varnished. We have been told that the bird had a sprinkler system installed, but that it had been damaged due to freezing the previous winter and had not been repaired yet.
