this was the view of my street as i pulled in last evening. . .

sorry it's a little dark. . . but it was night and all.


so. . . last night i was coming home from the gym. i couldn't get very far up my street, due to a police block. . . and i could see a number of ambulances (i'm not sure why that doesn't seem like the proper plural form of 'ambulance'. . . for some reason i want to say something like ambuli. . . oh well) and firetrucks parked outside my apartment complex, one of the firetrucks even had it's ladder out and over the roof. i tried another entrance to the road, but that block was set even further back. my roommate (who has now been here two evenings) was waiting across the street for the outcome. i caught up with him and the person who rented me the apartment, and i guess it wasn't too bad. no one was hurt, and the smoldering roof (caused by a light heating up a newly laid rooftop? i'm still not sure exactly what the deal was. . . and it wasn't really explained well) was caught really early on. . . and santa fe's finest arrived very quickly.

this is them on their way out. . .


either way. . . i'm glad to not have to pick through charred belongings. my roommate was wondering what we planned for the next few evenings, in order to keep up the excitement level. i'm fine with a little boredom quite honestly.
