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

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!
