I think it should be my mom. Evidently, just last night, a deadly brush fire swept through the town of Viera, FL.. putting 4 subdivisions of homes in intense danger and causing residents of said subdivisions to be barred from entering their developments as firefighters bravely battled the blaze. Exacerbated by high winds and very dry conditions (we have had more than a sprinkle of rain here in 3 weeks or so,) the blaze burned up an estimated 60 acres of property. Check out the photo.
The house you see in the background of this press photo IS my mother's house. Not the same development, etc... that's HER house. When my brother Rich, who lives only a few miles away, saw the story on the news, he started calling over to my mother's house to make sure the place wasn't in jeopardy. He was getting no answer and started getting really nervous when finally, she called back. Apparently, she'd been watching Grey's Anatomy and eating almond M&Ms the entire time this was going on (including at the moment this photo was taken) and had no idea that there even was a fire. The chair she sits in to watch TV, incidentally, is right under a window that faces in the direction of that ominous orange glow you can clearly see in the background of that picture.
Good looking out, Mom. I believe it was your grandmother who was once quoted as saying : "Stop being a jerk-off, O'Leary !! Leave the damn lantern by the cows.. what's the worst that could happen?"
