It does make you wonder...

  The house a few blocks down from us that caught on fire a few nights ago, just got another whippin' in the rain blast we had a couple of nights ago.  They were not able to cover the hole in the roof in time, and today, there were eight or nine trucks parked outside their home, with bag after bag of sodden clothes and other items being loaded, to be restored.  Talk about some seriously bad karma ......no rain anywhere near you, until your roof has an enormous hole in it.  I'm sure the fire hoses did their fare share of the water damage, too, but a one-two punch like that will leave you reeling, wondering what in this w-i-d-e world you did to deserve such a mess.  The answer is probably "Nothin'"-- because stuff like that just happens-- but it will make you wonder, that's for sure. 

I remember when I accidently caught our garage on fire.  Ohhhh, shuddddup and quit laughing.  I also melted the front end of my car, which was conviently parked in the garage, at the time.  And did I mention the dove load shotgun shells that were on the shelf in that very same garage, as it burned??  Oh, yeah, baby....when I do something, I do it BIG.  Without going into minute detail let me just say, never use Matchlight charcoal, and never ADD any Matchlight to an already going fire by dumping it from the bag, on to the fire.  It's in the fine print on the bag but whatever.  A spark will go down the bag, you will put the bag back in the garage, you will then put your brisket on the smoker, and catch your garage on fire.  The fire trucks will come, you will scare the crap out of your husband, but your small sons will think it's kind of cool.  They will also enjoy all the power tooled guys who come to repair the garage (and you will, too, if they are young and buff) but that's another story for sure.  All in all, you will definitely wonder what the hell you did to deserve such weirdness, and you will also feel enormous gratitude that it wasn't much worse.  It sure could have been.  Whew.
