Fire Chief was the regular grade sold by Texaco. Their premium was
Sky Chief.

In the 1950s, Sunoco sold only one grade of gasoline, which was
supposed to be a "near premium". Its gimmick was that it was dyed
blue, whereas other gasolines were yellow to red. In the 1960s, its
super-premium was Sunoco 260 from the "custom blend" pump.

You don't have to be doing these things yourself, you just need to let

Huh? You mean there is something besides CW?? Man, don't you know CW
saves lives?!?!?

Listen, Weak signals are for CW work on HF while boats are burning.
Contacting the space shuttle is just pointless unless you're correcting
their keplerian elements for the return flight path or asking if they
really drink Tang, Sporadic E [aka EMF bombing] is really ****ing off
the Condensation Entities that periodically enter the atmosphere to scan
for intelligent life, and tropospheric ducting is a lie. I happen to
have the control codes to several am-sats and I randomly change the
