Before anyone gets too upset: No, nothing happened to RAW. He as far as I know is just fine. :)

The downside: yesterday morning, at approximately 9:15, I and my two roommates were awoken by a pounding on our door and shouts of "house on fire." Not our house, but the next-door neighbor's house. We got all the hoses out and the two of them worked on hosing down the side and roof of our house and trying to contain the massive blaze from hers, while waiting for the fire department to arrive.

In the short term, we got off lucky. Nothing important (that I know of, still waiting on the cleanup company for final word on computer's condition and the other electronics in the room) was burned, though the fire did a bit of damage to the attic. All humans and animals were safely removed from the house, though I had an interesting time carrying Logan and Sen across the street in my bare hands (did not have access to my room in order to grab the kitty carriers by that point).

To reiterate: All are well and safe, house just got a bit toasted. It's times like this you realize which are the important things.

Man, those sudden knocks at the door and yells of fire sure do get the blood pumping, eh?

Glad to hear everyone is safe.

Definitely glad to hear things came up (relatively) well.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
