“Alan, it’s hot today, let’s do something cool.”
“Like”
:Visit the Salvation Army thrift store….you can buy me a fairly new dress.”

It takes about ten minutes to reach Port credit from our house  Halfway there
we noticed a whisper of smoke…then a massive conflagration as a car
began to burn.  Anyone who believes cars are inflammable should take
note.  The fire began in the motor region than spread faster than the traffic
light could change.  Flames reached as high as the electricity wires high
above, perhaps melting their shaeths.

“Is it going to explode?”
“Green light, we have to go.””
“What about those two people standing beside the burning car?”
“They better move fast…Gas tank is the next to go and that
will not be pretty.

We never knew what happened next.   But we were both amazed at 
the speed of the fire.  Just enough time to turn off the road then get out.

This is the first day of the summer of 2022.

A hot day.

Post Script:   We did nothing.  What should we have done?  Notice the traffic light …red, then green.
