Emergency.

Last night, I ran out to the store for dishwasher gel-pacs, and when I got back, I saw a house was on fire. My neighbor's house, three doors down. Smoke was pouring from the bedroom window and the guy was trying to hose it down. I ran over to him and asked if everyone were OK, and a woman said 911 had been called. Thank God no one was hurt or were there kids and/or pets involved.

So the fire trucks arrive, and the ambulance crew were standing by, and all the gawkers up and down Mimosa watched the team extinguish the fire, vent the house--there was a LOT of smoke--and chuck the burned materials into the yard. What had happened was the guy had been asleep and had woken up to find his mattress on fire (!) I don't know if he was smoking in bed or what (another good reason to not smoke, as if one needed any more.)

I have a zit in my armpit and it hurts.

Remind me to post about my fun weekend with my kids and my nieces.
