So. My house almost burned down Tuesday.
Glaine:
OK, as usual I had everything typed up perfect and then the forum ate my post so I gotta retype it all.
Got a call from mum about noon Tuesday saying our neighborhood was on fire.
This first article features a pic of the hay bales from my front yard. We sell hay for a side business and the hay and all of the field was burned down. We're all OK, and the house and the barn are fine so I've got nothing really to complain about. In fact, I still got a laugh in when I got home and asked the folks "So, anything new today?"
It's just sad that not everyone was so lucky.

The house with an above ground pool in the video in the Paradise section lives down the street from me.

Wow. Happy to hear you came out alright.
A few months ago I was vacuuming the carpet in my bedroom upstairs when the vacuum cleaner caught fire and then the rug caught fire. Thankfully, I put the fire out before it really did any damage but it kind of startled me a bit. Since then, I have bought five or six fire extinguishers since I had none when the fire happened. :o

That definitely puts on a new spin when playing popcorn on the trampoline. ;D

Well, it's awesome when you put a batman pole through it.
