He worked ...My walk was more exciting than Neil's. He worked late, so I decided to walk while I was waiting for him to get home. Normal nice evening in the suburbs, cars coming home and kids playing outside. I was nearing the bottom of the hill when I heard a hollow crash, a lot like the sound a dumpster lid makes falling shut -- which is what I thought it was, since there's a construction dumpster at one of those houses. The kids started shouting, and then an adult female voice in that unmistakable "You'd better have a damn good explanation" tone mothers get. The kids were answering in that "we didn't do anything" tone. I couldn't make out the words, but it sounded like everything was under control. <BR/><BR/>Got to the corner and saw the woman with the kids standing in the street staring at a house farther down the block. Lots of neighbors in the street. Lots of stinky smoke pouring out from the house's back porch. A guy walking the other direction informed me the firetruck is on the way. <BR/><BR/>Obviously I cut my walk short to rubberneck with everybody else :D <BR/><BR/>So I got half a walk then, and half a walk with Neil, so 1.6 as usual, but not in the usual way. <BR/><BR/>July: 55.3<BR/>AT: 302.8 <BR/>YTD: 347.3Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895569211498067204noreply@blogger.com
