Step away from the blow torch!

Seriously. What is up with some people? And what is with the blow torches? Remember a few blogs back my observation on the stupid things some people do. I was writing about the man who substituted a blow torch for a broom to rid his home's eves of cobwebs and ended up lighting the house on fire? Well, I think I've found his long lost brother in tonight's newspaper. Another bored moment of surfing the web. These people should really thank me for bringing them together.

"NEW BEDFORD, Mass — Fire officials in New Bedford, Mass., say a man using a blowtorch to melt ice on his back porch ended up setting his house on fire, causing up to $30,000 in damage...the man was using a torch hooked up to a 20-pound propane cylinder. He got too close to the building's wood frame and ignited the vinyl siding. The fire quickly spread into the building's second- and third-floor apartments. It took 25 firefighters to subdue the blaze that damaged bedrooms in the upstairs units, and caused damage to the structure and wiring."

Well, on that jolly note tune in in a few days as I *might* have something that resembles a Christmas/New Year's blog done if I get my act together. And if I'm late...have a splendid Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!
