who are the people in your neighborhood?

it's funny the people you meet, sometimes. random people. people that you've probably seen before but didn't converse with. people that lived in the same neighborhood as you, but you never noticed. i met one of those people yesterday.

it turns out, the woman i met is actually the woman who started THE FIRE ON THE ISLAND during hurricane katrina. now, i had never heard of said woman. i thot the fire was started by lightning hitting power lines and crashing to the house and it went from there.

she was more than happy to share her story. not that we asked for it, but so be it. oh, and she said she'd invite us all back when she owned the land after her lawsuit. this woman was burned so i'm not making fun. what she went through was tragic. but to think you're going to own this land because there was no fire extinguisher when you knowingly left the gas stove on, while boiling eggs, and then walking away... it just doesn't make sense to me. but you know what, i'm not a lawyer so what do i know?

anika, you work with lawyer-types, what do you think?
