You really light my fire! 14 February 2008 at 10:53 pm by Jason 252 views

Guess where we’ve been the past 2 hours? If you guessed “outside in the 10 degree (-3 w/ windchill) weather”, you’re right! We were all gathered up by the cops pounding on the door because there was a fire in the building. Turns out, similar to the last time this happened, it was a furnace (this time on the 2nd floor). The fire department let us back in, but they’re still downstairs trying to get it all taken care of. Here’s some pics:

Fire!

Fire!!

Fire!!!!

Fire!!!!!

The entire apartment smells like smoke now, we’re cold, Mishka is upset at being taken outside (we couldn’t get Kisa in time, sadly… yes, she’s okay, but she wouldn’t get out from under the bed!!). It’s very annoying. They’ve turned off the furnace and now one apartment is without heat (they’re moving the family). I really wish this complex would take care of their apartments instead of waiting for them to break down first.

In other news, aside from all this fun tonight, today was a great day. I bought Jess some flowers, we went out to dinner, it was just nice (until this). So, let’s leave you with a nice image, a cellphone pic of the bouquet I got for her!

Roses are red!

Until next time!



+ It is January… right? By Jason 27 January 2006 at 9:56 am 59 views 1 Comment

I’m not 100% sure as to what is wrong with the weather, but we haven’t had snow in almost 2 months. Now, I’m not complaining… but we live up north, and it’s January! So we haven’t had any snow… and while that’s odd by itself, it’s also been warm. Very warm. Let’s take a look at the weather for Omaha today…

January Weather

62 degrees is the high, 40 is the low (click the image to see). This is mid-spring weather. I tell you… this doesn’t bode well for the rest of the year. With no snow melting, the grass will be even drier than normal this summer… that means a much higher chance for fires. Also, with the hurrican season last year being so deadly, I wonder if this abnormal winter will do anything to add to it this year?

So what do you all think… Global Warming? Or is the Earth just going through a cycle? Comment away!
