Acutally, I just tried to check it out and the link doesn't work for me but if it does for you's, then I guess it didn't really "break" the internet.

Just Called 911
Big time thunderstorms are hitting right now. I'm hearing fire alarms going off from one of the apartment buildings in my complex down the street. Just walked down there to check it out, didn't see flames, but called 911 and will let the fire department investigate. Fun way to start the morning.

we're just getting the storm here in O-town right now. I guess it's better than sub-zero temps.

This is the first rain storm since I got my new rain gear, but I don't feel like leaving my hot coffee and morning paper to go test it right now...

Hmmmmmm
So, about ten minutes ago, I see a firetruck drive by. Since the fire alarms that are going off are down the road on the other end of a dog-leg turn, I can't tell if they stopped. Something tells me they didn't, given that the alarms are still going off as I type this, and there's no way they could have checked things out given the few minutes that passed between from when I called and the time I saw the truck.

Not sure what's going on, but our FD got in really hot water last summer for a similiar situation. They didn't even get out of the truck in that case, and 20 minutes later a fire broke out in an apartment belonging to an employee at the news station I work for. Hmmm, deja vu`?

Better to be safe with an apartment fire. Seems like much more risk and harder to put out once out of control than a house fire.

True, RichB. The fire department called me back a little bit ago. They say there's no fire and everything's cool. I actually knew the dispatcher who called me, I talk to her almost every day at work. Apparently, only the maintenance people can shut the alarms off. They're STILL going off. I'm glad it's down the street from me, because those suckers are really loud. Hee hee.

Ivygal - Click on your name under "Updates and New Contributors" in the upper-right corner of 'Phil's Photo Page."

Then send an e-mail to Phil about the name error under "Quick Index of Contributors with links to individual photo pages."

lumberzac - You should not be drinking so much, while looking at your pictures on Phil's Photo Page and dreaming about mountain trails. It can lead to calling-in sick and going hiking instead working.

I didn't "murder" the fish. They were euthanized. They would have drowned during the move and would have suffered.

The couch was kinda nasty, old, developing sags and hard spots. It should have been euthanized as well.

From the trivia page for Finding Nemo on the IMDb:

Afraid that kids would try releasing their pet fish by flushing them down a drain, a company that manufactures equipment used by water filtration and sewage treatment plants released a warning the Thursday after the film came out saying that even though drains do eventually reach the Ocean before it would the water would go through equipment which breaks down solids, and basically went on to say that in real life the movie would more appropriately be called "Grinding Nemo".
