Saw a cop car go by, but no sirens. Could've been something else, including illegal fireworks, but was sort of strange and no quite right sounding.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Always Anti-fascist!
Maybe Dick Cheney took David Simon's challenge and brought his weak shit to Charm City, Sarameg. There aren't many quail, though.

ION, We are members of the Y now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Good question. I would say it depends on environmental factors. Is there enough fuel for the fire to keep going? Is it cold enough for the ice to melt and drown the fire, but still re-freeze?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Ice.
You have to ask yourself, who would win in a fight of fire vs water? And then extrapolate.

Also depends on quantities. A tray of ice cubes will do jack in a wildfire. OTOH, they'll handily put out a candle!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
(Last time he was at a track, they proudly pointed out the fire extinguishers that they'd never had to use at one of those events. J said "Oh, why did you say that?" Sure enough, they had to use them to put out his brakes.)
I once did that to a podiatrist. He was putting some sort of caustic destructive substance on my sister's nail bed so the ingrown nail wouldn't come back and I said "Isn't it nice to be a doctor that doesn't emergencies?" and that night whatever the caustic destructive substance was had gone too far and was sort of eating my Sister's toe and we had to page him. Oops.

From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Speaking of, OMGWTF ICESTORM.We are under warning for OMGWTF SNOWPOCALYPSE. Not, um, that we've had any snow, but It Might Happen!
The Snow Demons (summoned, as usual, by Jilli*) are only in Seattle so far.
