scorcher in more ways than one

i knew yesterday was going to be hot because at 7am when i was driving to work, it was 90 already. yup, 90 AT 7AM! at lunch it was only 112, considering the time frame not bad. by the end of the day though it was 115....toasty, huh?

in the middle of the night i woke up to a siren. i didn't think much of it, we live off a main drag but shortly thereafter B came in the room & told me a house down the street was on fire. we went out there & took a look but the cops kept everyone pretty far back so we couldn't really see much. we asked & found out that thankfully no one was hurt. this morning Z & I drove by; the garage is a complete loss, there was a car parked in front of it & it's gone too. i think the house was saved though. how scary for those poor people.
