Friday night, second-longest day of the year, ten p.m. and still daylight, dusky though, and lily and I home from a long post-dinner walk, watching "Nacho Libre" (terrible, don't ask) in the living room when we suddenly realize:
OUR APARTMENT IS FILLING UP WITH SMOKE!
Thought 1: I left the burner on when I made popcorn and there's a flaming potholder with my name on it.
Thought 2: SAVE THE RECORDS!
Thought 3: did the ancient lady downstairs, the one with serious dementia, finally forget to put out a cigarette?
Turns out it was a few buildings over. We got out of our jammies and rolled down the block to gawk.
Here's a movie from two angles, the front and back of the building.
By the time we left, there were two cherry-pickers up trying to get it under control.
