Everyone is fine. Friends suffered a fire in their house over the weekend. Kids broke in and stole some stuff, then set the couch on fire. I went to help catalog stuff that needed to be replaced, suited up in a tyvek suit with the hood up and a mask over my face, fogging up my glasses for a couple hours.
I had not completely understood the concept of smoke damage before. The smoke goes everywhere, and leaves a grimy gray residue that is uncleanable and unremovable. They have two girls, so pictures from them were everywhere, and everywhere they were scorched and grayed out. It was spooky, and scary and sad. I have to go help more.

I just heard about the fire this past Monday. One of the guys who works at the cafe next to the shop lived in that house. There’s going to be a benefit thingy at the cafe on Thursday from 6 to 8 for him. (That’s tomorrow night – the 26th.)
Neat postcard!
