A total loss. All because someone else was irresponsible enough to set off fireworks in a neighborhood where we live fairly close together and when we are in drought conditions. We here at Ao4 Headquarters don't set off fireworks - but there but for the grace of God -- you know. It could happen to any of us.
We don't know if whoever did this will be held responsible or how actively our city officials will pursue the investigation. We just know this tragedy could have been avoided if someone had shown some common sense and had restricted their own activities. They didn't and now their neighbors have suffered a tremendous loss.
OK. Sorry ... let's get on to something Zim and I did that made us boys AND mom feel better yesterday. Since it's Photo Finish Friday -- check it out:

| Me and Zim - splishin' and a-splashin'! |
Ha woo. RIGHT through the sprinklers! I have to say, since I was on the sidewalk and not in the wet grass, it felt really good on my feety-feet. Zim liked it, too. And ... truth be told, I think Mom liked it as well!
Keep cool, everybody!
Luv,
Dave
That is so very sad for that family. Please keep us posted as they rebuild.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Master is wondering if they figure out who is responsible...will that person's home owner's insurance have to pay for it? That makes sense to us. TERRIBLE!

Unbelievable !!! Those poor people

Dave... I HOPE that the one(s) who caused that terrible fire.. DO get CAUGHT and have to ... suffer the consequences of their stupidity. THERE... you were NICE butt I said it FUR YOU... Somebuddy was STUPID and caused others to suffer.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you all THREE enjoyed the sprinkler thingy.
This is something that happened in my neighborhood a few years ago. Three boys went into an old apartment building late at night, set off firecrackers and ran. The firecrackers started a fire and burned the building down. It was a beautiful old building, and we were grateful that everyone got out with no loss of life. Neighbors on all sides were moved to a school while the fire was put out. These boys were teenagers and should have known what a terrible deed this was. Just another sad story!

I'm so sad for your neighbors. i hope that they have good insurance and are able to rebuild, but I hope even more that the people who caused it get caught!
ReplyDeleteHoly moly! I take a little blogging break and look what happens. I am so mad at whatever miscreants set of those fireworks that I could spit! What a horrible sight. That home! Gone forever. I feel so sorry for the owners. I am glad that nobody was hurt and that AO4 HQ is OK. Such foolishness. And for what?

We feel so bad for your neighbors. We're glad that no one was hurt but still, to lose their home to something so preventable is unthinkable. We hope they are able to rebuild.
ReplyDeleteOur sisfur Sadie would have enjoyed walking through the sprinklers too so we know she's smiling down on you boys!
Purrs,
Angel & Isabella
What a huge tragedy for your neighbors. We are so sorry.
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,
Mitch and Molly
I couldn't agree with you more. It is always the ones doing it that never have to pay the price, always the innocent have to. Your poor neighbors. I hope the Red Cross and other organizations are there to help them through all of this.
ReplyDeleteWe actually have a firework on our roof right now. Grr..it could so easily happen to any of us and I am always so scared around this time of the year.
I sure hope they find those responsible and hold them responsible. I can't believe someone can know what they did and not come forward. UGH!
ReplyDeleteI did a little splish splashing today too, but it was in a stream.
Blessings,
Goose
Oh my, so sorry for the neighbors, hopefully those responsible will be caught and held accountable for their actions.
ReplyDeleteWe love the water just not the sprinklers. You guys are brave to walk through them.
The silvers and more
hmmm...we'll just stick to laying under the cool air blowy vents! :D
ReplyDeleteDave, we really feel for your neighbors. what a senseless tragedy! we're glad they were safe. purrs,
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, HOllie
It's good to keep your feet cool. Such a shame about the neighbour's house but at least no-one was injured.
