Here in New Haven, the very fine New Haven Fire Department (locally
famous for their arson unit) tools around in *white* fire trucks.  Even
the old ones are white.  Maybe that explains why nobody here pulls over
when a fire truck is behind them :-).

Now, the line down the middle of the street has, on occasion, been
painted green.  For St.  Patricks's day.

How many people have noticed how "Emergency" is lettered backwards on the front
of some emergency vehicles - so it is legible in the rear-view mirror of the car
in front of them!  (how's that for a pointless discussion?)
