So much for peace and quiet
"The thing I like most about the new house is that it so QUIET. No traffic, no sirens, NOTHING."
I was getting ready to take Rachel over to a friend's house when I looked out the front window and saw smoke pouring out the neighbors garage. My mother in law was here and called 911 while I went across the street to see if the neighbor was ok. He had just finished mowing his lawn and had put his tractor in the garage and it caught fire. My father in law helped the owner put out the flames with the other neighbor's garden hose before the the fire trucks got here.

Now that's an impressive response from the fire department!
Oh god, the news crew just showed up....
