At about 6:30 this morning, we got reports from citizens in the area that there was a green van and a white car chasing each other up and down Central Avenue shooting at each other.

This is going to make the whole area airy, exciting, green, a place they want to be in.

We've used a lot of stuff since the Can-Care-A-Van. We go through pork and beans and green beans and things like that so fast. I've had to replenish those twice already.

[They can be used to react quickly to reports about Taliban and al Qaeda forces in the area, said J.
