Fire on the Evening News

[icarus]

I worked late tonight (tying up loose ends at work). On the bus ride home I mentioned it to the guy next to me, and he said, "You were in that building?"

Apparently we were on the evening news. Over and over and over again. He was astounded the building was livable.

Learned from our manager that seven apartments are toast.

Livable? wildernessguru has made our place quite livable. It's sparkling clean, smells a little smoky, but also smells of bacon and hot chocolate... mmmm. Now we're sacked out in front of the TV, commander fuzzhead sleeping in my laptop case.

Everyone is so impressed with wildernessguru's level-headedness and preparedness, and several people I've talked to are now developing their own emergency plans.

*kicks back* Ahhh... hot chocolate. I hope we're on the 11 o'clock news. It would be cool to see.

Thank you. It felt really good in the middle of the chaos to read all the wishes and good luck from people, oddly grounding, as though one's roots didn't need to be in our home but we had security in our larger community.
