Never a Dull Moment

We had some excitement around the corner yesterday evening. A tourist trolley started on fire and was engulfed in flames. The streets were blocked off and there were three firetrucks and who knows how many police cars. Fortunately, only the driver was on the trolley, and he got off safely. The trolley was totally destroyed - it looked like there was nothing left inside. Here's a picture from the news:














And another from Isaac's iPhone:

Ironically, Isaac's brother Marc was parked not 20 minutes earlier in the very spot where the trolley pulled over to burn. I saw his car there as I walked home, and told him that he should move it because that side of the street has no parking for rush hour, and he could get towed. Even more ironically, it appears that our car was also parked there earlier, but had in fact been towed to a spot two streets over. We discovered it this morning when we realized that we hadn't seen the car in a while. Phew! Two car fires averted!
