OT John,

I made some waffles a moment ago and the toaster (that I got from Costco, called Tefal) started on fire, flames and all. (Since when do toasters/waffles catch fire?) I caught it in time, poored water on it, but I could have caught it even earlier (before the flames started) if I wasn't so absent-minded this evening.

This incident makes me realize that tomorrow, a lot of workers in America may be absent-minded or distracted at work tomorrow. Accidents are bound to happen. I think folks should have the day off.

On another note, I stepped outside and noticed how quiet the Bay Area is. No planes are flying overhead (not even Larry Ellison's plane). It is incredibly quiet. I heard the crickets earlier in the night. It is a quiet beauty to 'hear' this silence, though the circumstances that brought this silence are sad.

Regards,
Amy J
