I typed the last digit of my Wii number incorrectly before. This is because my life is a crotch!

Correct Wii Number, I hope: 8560 2573 5464 8408

My apartment building caught fire last night. It was a few units away and a floor down. It didn’t spread very far and my home is fine. Everyone got out safely. Most of us got back in again. I don’t officially know what started it, but from watching the fire inspector take pictures I’m guessing it was electrical. The wiring here is pretty good, so I’ll further guess that it was a sparking surge protector or maybe a halogen lamp. I’ll know more when the managers send out a memo next week.

The fire department is under a mile away.  They were here in a little under five minutes. By that time the unit where it started was fully involved, but the firewalls held and that was the only one to get scorched, I think. There was smoke in the unit above and in the ones on either side, but they didn’t spray any water in those. I would have expected fire to punch through the ceiling/floor of the unit above, but it doesn’t seem that it did. Not sure where that smoke came from. Again, waiting on the memo.

To repeat, I’m fine. The cats are fine. But fire, woohoo!

I am William Wallace. I have a Wii at last. I poked my head in the same old store today just as they opened their latest shipment of acrylic glory.

Thanks to everyone who look for me!

That’s all the post I have time to make. Gotta play.

I went hiking with Torey and Kiki, his girlfriend, and a bunch of people they know through meetup.com. We hiked up Old Rag in the Shenandoah National Park. It’s about a nine-mile trip up and down with a really fun rock scramble on the way up to the summit.

I learned that while I can walk nine miles pretty easily, climing up and down a 1700 foot vertical while walking nine miles is just a little bit beyond me. I made it, of course, but about two hours behind the pace. Torey was kind enough to hang back with me and make sure I made it down safely. I didn’t have any real problems getting up to the summit. Once we stopped for lunch, though, the muscles and tendons at the tops of my thighs cramped up and made the trip down a stuggle. I’ll go again, but I’ll drop another dime or two first and get some practice in on easier climbs.

Today, I’m sore all over. I’m going to spend the day reading and finishing up the second season of Carnivale. Oh, well shoot; I have to shower. I’m also going over to the realty office at my complex to see about buying a condo.
