Fire

Posted on December 31st, 2005 by Sacha Chua

There was a big fire right next to our house. We all got out safely, including the pets.

In the meantime, check out Peppy's narrative at http://www.livejournal.com/users/ninjapeps/130624.html for pics.

I need to learn how to be the keeper of stories. My dad told me some interesting ones. Keywords:

Insightful

Traffic's silver lining
Insights into crowd management: shock, authority
Insights into crisis management: people, pets, stuff
Food better than cash
Household help more worried about Mom
Possible reasons why: if I can't have it, neither can't you

Funny

Fireworks incongruity
Ollie bath
Camera and batteries
Window, silicone, Swiss kife
Household help packed clothes
Drinks: Dr. Pepper, cranberry juice
Cooking: mixing viands
Second fire
Arroz caldo: third helping
Can you teach me photography? Not tonight!
