solarbirdNot very much new going on; oh wait, there's a zillion fire sirens suddenly nearby. I wonder what's up?
<goes away to look, comes back later having looked>
Apparently nothing. Or, at least, nothing they'll talk about. However, the ambulance went away without apparently loading anyone, the family is standing out on the lawn by the door enrobed and looking vaguely embarrassed, and the fire patrol told me there was no fire and no police were involved. But there was an ambulance and two (2) firetrucks from Northshore station, which is about 1.2 miles away. My guess is they have a central fire and burglar alarm system and it went off, and by the time they figured out they didn't have a fire, the fire trucks were already there.
But that's just a guess. Anyway.
I've just taken a look around the various fundamentalist political websites, and there's enough for a clear-out-the-holidays post, so I'll go deal with that. I also processed the remaining photographs in the to-process queue, which is good, since I was almost done with October's set. November is now reasonably full, but December has almost nothing because I just didn't see a lot of pictures I wanted to take in December. However, I have some fun images in the queue coming up.
But first, have a picture of my crazy parrot Zoe, being all coy.
Zoe Plays it Coy
Friday's token: 0.7 miles
Saturday's token: 0.1 miles
Sunday's token: 0.7 miles
Miles out of Hobbiton: 556.9
Miles out of Rivendell: 97.1
Miles to Lothlórien: 369.3
I'm never going to get to Lothlórien at this rate. Stupid mountain passes in winter. No wonder it's taking me so damn long. But still, this is stupid.

Date: 2006-01-02 11:37 pm (UTC)(As for the fire alarm thing, I wonder if it's like the university housing I used to live in? If the fire alarm went off there, they were legally required to have the fire crew turn up and confirm it safe, even if the cause - either somebody smoking in their room without putting a plastic bag over the smoke alarm or everybody's favourite, drunk people getting back at 3am and deciding they needed a slice of toast - was identified soon after.)
