The person I am really impressed with is . . .


the camera man. I hate heights, so it's scary to me when while watching the flame building episode, Danny is on the very top up 550 feet on temporary scaffolding. That's scary enough. However the cameraman is in the same predicament, but he can't hold onto anything and he's looking through a camera, losing your contextusl vision if you will. If I was looking through a camera at that height, I'd get virtigo and start losing my balance (kind of like needed to see the horizon in a boat). Can't imagine doing all of that with the camera in hand while I'm looking through it. Then you think about all of the other precarious situations Danny has been in and to think the cameraman is always right there with him with camera in hand. Amazing. He should get paid as much as Danny.

Is it "used to" or "use to"? I'm used to not caring; I did at one time use to care.

I compare camera ops on shows like this to Ginger Roberts. People used to say Fred Astaire was the greatest dancer of all time. Sure, but Ginger did all the same steps but backwards and while wearing high heals.
