There’s been a car parked out front for a long time. Several minutes ago, I started seeing fire trucks passing by. I went out and asked the guy with the car what was going on. ‘House caught fire. Chimney. Fireplace. I seen it.’ Lots of trucks at the corner, with firemen walking down that street. There’s a lot next to my house, and a corner lot; so it’s close. I didn’t go down there. The car had been out there a while, so I’m guessing the fire had been taken care of already and the additional trucks are there for fun. I mean just in case.

High wind warning tonight. The trees are bending and I hope we don’t lose power.
