Btw, anyone want to buy kidneys? Both are for sale.

Too much reality today February 10, 2009 9:15 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeTime shifting my work today. That’s a benefit of freelancing (sometimes). My work will begin this afternoon and continue into the evening. This morning will be spent at my son’s college’s student services department trying to figure out how he is doing and if he needs help to succeed. Forecast for the rest of the month: Sh*t storm brewing, seek shelter under a blooming money tree.

And 4 Firetrucks Flashed at the End of My Street February 8, 2009 10:25 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life
Three days ago I bought a rick of wood (that’s a 4×8 tightly stacked rectangle of corded wood for a fireplace or stove). I also bought a wire brush to clean my own flue. I am having seconds thoughts about not hiring Chimney Sweeps West. That evening, as I prepared dinner, I noticed some large trucks at the end of the road. I quickly dismissed them as moving trucks and realized they were fire trucks! Racing down the street to see which house was on fire, I counted 4 trucks and saw firemen on the roof. I figured the house was a goner but the next night the porch lights were on and the interior lights were on. Perhaps it was a flue fire. Today I got the story.
Sure enough, their flue caught on fire. Rural Metro turned on their meter to the tune of $1000 per hour per fire engine. They brought four engines on the assumption that this house was going to go up quickly. The fire was contained in the brickwork of the chimney. Dry chemicals were put down the chimney but could not stop the fire. The firemen went into their kitchen, got all their cooking flour, went onto the roof, and dropped the flour down the chimney. A fireball erupted from the chimney and extended 20 feet into the air burning the life out of the flue fire. In a dramatic light show, the house was saved…well…until Rural Metro puts a lien on it for their services.
