Holy Blazes Boy Wonder

July 2nd, 2005

Another fire hit my hometown today - and this one directly across the street from my house - literally. Less than 50 paces from my doorstep, a neighbor of 30 years will come home this evening to find their life in shambles. I used to shovel his driveway years ago, when I had the energy to do more than just my driveway.

As I sit here and jot this down, the volunteer firefighters of East Norwich, Oyster Bay, and Syosset are cleaning up the streets, and making sure that the last of the fire is indeed out. I highly doubt that there is any foul play involved in this, but with the string of recent blazes, it leaves you wondering.
