Snails - Response on Threads Part 4

[tiburonfirst]

Couple of abandoned houses half a block away from me went up in flames last night. The firefighters kept an occupied house next door from also going up in flames.

that must have made for a restful night

It was a big fire- massive flames. it was scary. The phone pole by the street looked like it was smoking at one point. It may have taken some work to keep the occupied house from going up.

My neighborhood is pretty transitional still. It seems that an abandoned house burns once every couple of years or so. Eventually, we'll run out of empty houses. One of them that burned last night caught on fire last summer, but it wasn't as bad as this one. I think that squatters may have been there.

if true let's hope everybody got out safely .............

I hope that the house was empty. Last winter several squatters died in a house fire in a different neighborhood.

what about Pepper?

 

[Sgt. Pepper]

Well, I did it, again. I just ordered the Prime prime rib from Pat Lafrieda's in New York for Christmas dinner. Amazingly, the price did not go up from last year. It was ONLY $280 for a 9lb roast. And to think, I'll balk at paying $300 for a Vapor Flask. I guess we know where the Pepper's priorities are? Food.

 

[tiburonfirst]

what about Pepper?

what about pepper? anybody with half a brain could predict you'd be sleeping in this morning!
