A house on my street burned to the ground around lunchtime today. nobody hurt, but I will never forget the sound and the HEAT from at least 300 feet away.
Very confronting, I can tell you. The windows in the houses next door to it were expolding from the heat.
Yikes
who lived there? the type that watch cartoons during the day or the type that leave the stove running while they go in the other room and .... cook (as my ex roommate did when this happened to me)?

Speaking of putting out fires, It's been one of those days where you start with a to do list, because you've got a rare desk day, and after four solid hours of work, you retype the list and it's longer than it was when you started.

Here's something newsworthy, that isn't depressing: The Mother and The Whore got a spine number today. Who-ahh!

It is a 1.5 million dollar waterfront property. Dude was tinkering with his motorcycle, went upsatirs to grab something and upon returning the whole garage was on fire.
NIce people lost everything. Thanks for the smart ass reply though.

I found out that there’s footage of me at age 13 playing an Iron Maiden song at the 8th grade talent show. 1985? How have I been playing bass for over 40 years?
We start around the 15:00 mark, but the singer’s reminisces are endearing and worth checking out.

^This reminds me:
When I was 10 or 11, my family and I went to Disney World (this was around 1988). At the hotel we were staying at, they were doing karaoke one night. I got up onstage and sang Huey Lewis's 'Heart of Rock and Roll'. The emcee made an audio cassette of my performance. I thought it was embarrassing.
At my wedding, my Dad slipped the tape to the DJ to introduce and play during the reception. I kind of expected it to happen. I thought, "I don't sound too bad."
Expect to hear it again if I'm ever on the Tonight Show.

Went to my immunotherapy session only to find I’m testing positive for The Rona again for the second time in six weeks…
