I love Taco Bell’s Fire sauce.
i’m sure they have a name…that would help.
Journalism skills are lacking. Yesterday, the headline was something like “Woman receives burns from fire”, without any further details. I was thinking yep, fire causes burns, is this some kind of public service announcement?
Lots of privacy laws now a days.

As long as she is alive, she can describe the assailant.
