This is not in any way a political diary. This really has nothing to do about anything, except for the fact...
that for the last fifteen minutes or so, my house and my block have been surrounded by 4 pumper trucks, and three fire department SUV's. Got a bunch of guys in shirts and ties scratching their heads, wondering what is going on.
Now this wouldn't be that odd, although it hasn't happened in ages, except that yesterday evening on the way home we were caught up at a false alarm on Tuckahoe near Central Ave here in Yonkers. That was five pumpers, three SUVs.
And the day before that, three blocks away there were three pumpers and two SUVs.
I haven't seen a fire (luckily) in all three of these, but I must admit this has me totally spooked!!!
