Fire!

There was a little excitement in the Santa Monica 'hood tonight. A building two blocks north of me caught fire and burned down -- across the street from the cemetery. I heard the sirens and saw thick black smoke blowing across the backyard. I ran out front thinking I might be in imminent danger and wondering how I was going to round up and evacuate four cats, one of whom is feral, and another of whom is never home during daylight hours. It looked like the fire was close, but it was two blocks away, and my house wasn't in any danger. It created quite a stir in the neighborhood, though, and a huge traffic jam. Did I scoop the Los Angeles Times with this post?

I can see this fire from ocean park in Santa Monica. Helicopters are going crazy. Don't see any news of it online yet -- found your post through google blogsearch.
