There are omens when the great pass away.

In the last 12 hours, I had a kitchen fire; scared away a burglar at gunpoint; and found an old dog lying in the alley out back of my house, waiting to be run over.

The fire was minor, but the extinguisher powder is a mess. Check your smoke alarms! Mine worked.

The burglar waddled away with a load in his pants after seeing Haku’s teeth and my P7M8.

The dog is at the vet’s, getting checked out.

I need a vacation.
