\u201cAlan, it\u2019s hot today, let\u2019s do something cool.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cLike\u201d<\/div>\n
:Visit the Salvation Army thrift store\u2026.you can buy me a fairly new dress.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
It takes about ten minutes to reach Port credit from our house  Halfway there<\/div>\n
we noticed a whisper of smoke\u2026then a massive conflagration as a car<\/div>\n
began to burn.  Anyone who believes cars are inflammable should take<\/div>\n
note.  The fire began in the motor region than spread faster than the traffic<\/div>\n
light could change.  Flames reached as high as the electricity wires high<\/div>\n
above, perhaps melting their shaeths.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cIs it going to explode?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cGreen light, we have to go.\u201d\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWhat about those two people standing beside the burning car?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cThey better move fast\u2026Gas tank is the next to go and that<\/div>\n
will not be pretty.<\/div>\n

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

<\/div>\n
This is the first day of the summer of 2022.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
A hot day.

Post Script:   We did nothing.  What should we have done?  Notice the traffic light \u2026red, then green.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
