So as I was approaching Syracuse on the drive back from Buffalo yesterday, Nuke calls me to tell me about the Northampton fires (which apparently made national news, whoa). This of course didn't come as too much of a surprise to me - when we were still living at Camp Amoeba we'd joke about the friendly neighborhood arsonist. And there was that whole burnt down house across the street from us and everything too.
Still... it probably does make me a bad person that my first thought was "Well, crap, they missed," huh? I mean, if they want to torch cars, I could think of at least one I wouldn't mind seeing burn one town over. Maybe two. Just saying.
Anyway, home safe, and now back at work, though looking out the window I'm questioning the wisdom of coming in. It's snowing at a pretty good clip down here. Course, after tooling around in slippery weather in Buffalo I think I can safely say that I no longer hold an abject fear of winter driving, just a healthy apprehension.
