Reason #284,576 why I'm very, very happy that we're closing on our new house next Friday and getting the hell outta this place by the end of the month!
Here's hoping you can make it to the end of the month- unscorched.
I can grok completely where you're coming from, after my PTSD reaction a couple of years ago to what sounded like 21 mortar rounds in a row fired off at 2 in the morning at what sounded like just outside my bedroom window.
Most times around this holiday it's rained within a couple of days- not this year. It's like a tinderbox now. The local fire department is pleading for folks to be sane. (Yeah Right!). I fully expect the local ER's to do their usual brisk business involving the lost of a finger or two and all degrees of burns.
There are Times, Sir, when men of good Conscience cannot blindly follow orders. You acknowledge their sentience, but ignore their personal liberties and freedoms. Order a man to hand over his child to the state? Not while I"m captain.
