one fire is plenty.



You would think one fire would suffice. (See December 3.) That throwing flaming garbage down the chute once might be a good lesson in what not to do in the future. Especially in communal living situations concerning 20 or more floors.

However, it seems we live with people unclear on the concept and for good measure they've thrown flaming items into the garbage chute. Again.

So last night the hallway started smelling like smoke. (Again.) And the fire trucks rushed over. (Again.) And the sirens got louder and louder until they stopped in front of our building. (Again.) And instead of Home Alone, we watched Arrested Development. (New.)

Oh yah... and wondered just how super an impression this was making on my in-laws who happened to be over for dinner.
