Life and times. Fire in my building. Went down to get mail smelled smoke. At the same moment firemen were banging on the glass door. Let them in they did their thing. These guys are fast amazing pro-choreography. They're on the job. Snapshot of our firehouse last winter.

Went up got my 'Bug-Out' bag. Everyone should have these. Your important documents financial cards flash drives phones meds first aid recharger emergency cash batteries the works. You may never need it but when you do you really do.

Hour into it now. Seems under control.

No evacuation like several years back. Smoke much less.

Emergencies as I say brings folks together. Many become their best selves. City folks in apartment buildings rarely speak to each other...a sad urban tradition. Unless all hell brings loose then humanity kick back in. Happened when the skies burned at the beginning of the summer and during the last hurricane.

Firemen still here but we seem okay. Don't know but likely a kitchen thing. It's mostly that in older buildings. Our digs raised in 1898. If bleep yet goes nuts be posting from friends or family.

Till then loves ya.
