Yah. R was a very funny guy; very descriptive of realizing he couldn't drag the Hindenberg firestorm out into the room; and then, trying to push it from the butt, hopefully clear out the chimney. Kind of Hansel-like, trying to shove that fat witch into the oven to save their lives. All they could do was tear down the curtains and drag stuff away; R ran out and got the hose and they squirted the ceiling to keep it from catching fire. The carpet burned thru. Whole place was smoke damaged, so they couldn't even complete the "house-sitting" part of their mission. As far as it sat in their heads, they had flat-out saved the house from burning down, and that was the most important part of an unfortunate incident. Which is probably true, of course. (Just a matter of perspective.) Some time around fourth grade, fire departments should do a Christmas tree demo. So that everybody knows. And so they don't waste newspaper trying to start them. Not to mention not putting them anywhere near a fireplace and what that screen really does for you. And to think they actually used to put candles in them. Wow. Too wierd. (Weird?) I get confused. [ i before e, except after c ~ and in words like neighbor and weigh weird. It's a sceince.] PS ~ The goat dictionary doesn't even have the word.
