Stardate: -317703.6
Last night Thad called while I was the only one at home, wanting to know "How big does a fire have to be before you should call 911?" He was riding home on the bike path in East Alton Baker Park when he saw a small patch of grass burning. While he was talking to me on his cell phone he could see it growing. I spent a minute thumbing through the phone book looking for a non-emergency fire department number, then when I couldn't find it immediately I told him to just do the safe and easy thing and call 911.
About three minutes later I heard the siren from the fire engine. Just for fun, I hopped on my bike and rode to where he was only a few minutes away to keep him company while he watched the firemen put out the fire.
How's that for an anticlimactic, yet interesting, adventure...

Lol, I love it... "How big does a fire have to be before you should call 911?" I bet that was a bit startling, before he explained the situation.
P.S. Was it just me, or was there a picture of the back of Simon's head in the paper today?
At first when he called, I thought that he was at a bonfire with some friends or something. It was definitely not something I expected to hear him say...
P.S. Yes, that was Simon's head in the paper. The first of the Arnold kids to attend a "real" school with a full-time schedule before college.
