So, two houses down, facing the house, on the left caught fire. Reports are that the residents of the house behind them heard an explosion, and by the time they looked out the window, the entire rear of the house was alight. Strangely, I didn’t even realize anything was going on until I saw the lights from the fire engines, by which point most of the neighborhood had gathered. Such is the power of Guitar Hero, I suppose.

I hope Mrs. Oliver is ok. She’s a sweet old lady who never seems to remember me. They found her, and took her out on a stretcher. I couldn’t tell whether she was alive or not, but she had clearly been near the fire, as most of her hair had been burned off. Not all, and her face looked ok, so… I hope she’s alright.
