Day in the Life: 04-20-2006

So, not much to say about this evening besides my luck. See, I live on the fifth floor of my dorm and often leave the window open.

Because of my location, if there is a big engine relatively nearby, I will hear it. Anyway, it happened that last night, a firetruck pulled up just down the stree from my window, and I noticed. Got up and looked outside to see the truck parked on the side of the road, then looked directly down at the street to notice...Hello hello Mr. Police Officer in your car.

At this point, I got out of my lounging clothes and back into that day's clothes (slacks and a t-shirt). Also put my socks on and readied my slip-on shoes at the door. Then I just stood at the window and watched outside as I waited.

Sure enough, 5 minutes later..."An emergency has been declared in the building"
Fire alarm went off. So, off I go, well prepared for the alarm.

Maybe from now on, if I see a firetruck parked out on the street like that, I'll begin running around my floor to warn others of the drill. But..then again. Maybe not.
