fire in the hood

The house next door to Dairy Queen burnt down yesterday...it took a long, long time. The entire block was closed off for hours. The smoke and the amount of police/fire attention drove all the crackheads up the block to land in front of us. It was quite a sight, but I just wasn't confident enough to walk out and take a photo of them...I don't know if they were living in that house or just living between the cracks up there. There were so many of them. I couldn't get on the block to take a picture of the house until after dark(cuz the final game of the Stanley Cup was on, beer was flowing...er, more like trickling, and pizza being consumed),but will get down there today for some photos. Once the street opened, the crowd of crackheads stumbled on back up the block. It really was surreal. Honestly.
More later.

the crackheads were just between the cracks. i read one time that they can fit in a crack the width of a piece of paper and survive the radiation from an atomic bomb. oh....wait....that was cockroaches.

It is strange how many crackheads, methheads, etc there are in this little town. It is like a mob scene. I am always floored by just how many addicts live in this town. It's just not big enough for all of them! It's so weird.
