So my sister and I are coming home from the video store
and it's dark, but as we get close to home we see a huge column of smoke lit from underneath by flames.

Oh shit, were thinking, because it looks right in the direction of our house.

We get closer, it's a bit to the north. Big sigh of relief, but still, it's close enough we probably know whoever it is, so we drive over to see. Turns out it was a old Bronco on fire. HOly shit, I had no idea a car fire would put off as much smoke as a house would. That was scary as hell. Made me real glad the fire station is so close, either way.

That was scary.

2. We got X3 and my sister got a pizza.
I can get pizza at the same place, but I ate before she got home so she got one with cheese and meat instead of one to share. Fine with me, I'm full.

3. You know me and fires having mine been attacked by arson

OK, it was just a drug crazed son of a republican cop and brother
who left the scene of the crime after my dog awoke me at 3 in the morning.


still made me worry.







glad you are safe and I hope it was OJ's bronco.

4. A neighbor of mine lost thier apartment to fire last year
It was accidental and small and put out very quickly because it was the 4th of july and the nearby fire station was well staffed and ready to go, but the smoke destroyed everything.

Fires scare me.
