Laura, that's wonderful!
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, that's so nice Laura!
I am enjoying the Minneapolis airport. It's actually really nice, there's tons of places to eat and lots of healthy food options! Of course, only some of my food choices were healthy, but....

That's great news, Laura! I love those kinds of reconnections.

I'm freaking out and it's not going to get better any time soon.
A local institution, the neighborhood hardware store, which I have referred to here as 'the magic box' is on fire.
The paint store went first and now the four story, jam packed main store is going up. Firefighters can't get to it, the smoke is so thick, so they are just hitting it with water from a distance.
This is four blocks from my house. The smoke plume has been seen several miles away.
I put down the storm windows and turned on the air conditioner, but I can still smell the toxic smoke.
I don't have anywhere to go, or a way to get there even if I did!
I've put a damp towel over my nose, but I can't do anything for Cagney.
How could this beautiful day turn into Hell?

Our wings are not tired.
Oh Bonny! How scary. The A/C may actually be bringing in the smoke. If it isn't too warm you might turn it off. I hope they are able to get this under control quickly.
eta: Does Cagney seem aware?

Thanks, Laura.
I turned off the a/c, turned on my vaporizer and sequestered us in the office. We are two rooms away from the front windows, rug blocking the bottom of the door.
I am drinking tea to try and get the icky feeling out of my throat.
Cagney is aware that I am upset, but he does not seem to be having trouble breathing so far.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
bonny, stay safe. I have two friends who are fighting the fire. Fingerscrossed for everyone.

Oh my. Strength to your friends, Maria.
WTOP says four firefighters have already gone to the hospital.

Oh, dear. Be safe, firefighters and everyone in the vicinity of the fire!
