I think we've moved to Beirut

Last Friday night, I was lying in bed reading, and Krys was out in the kitchen getting ready to come back to the bedroom. Suddenly she heard sirens. She went outside and saw a fire truck right outside our house. A police car was blocking the street, and the firemen were putting out a fire in an SUV sitting across the street from our house. We have no idea how the truck caught on fire, but it's still sitting there! Sheesh - get rid the damned truck, people! Here are the photos:

This is the SUV:

Here's a close-up of the window:

Here's all the shattered glass on the street next to it. How charming. Perhaps someone should, I don't know, get the glass off the street!!!!!


Burned-out husks on the street? Yes, America is pretty awesome.
