An exciting afternoon.

Slavko and I smell smoke while we are playing some Medieval: Total War. Then the fire alarm goes off.

We go outside, and several of the palm trees in front of our room are on fire. The residence life director is trying to hose them with a fire extinguisher and failing. So, logically, we go back inside and continue playing video games.

The fire department arrives and hoses down the trees and the surrounding area with incredible volumes of water.

Then, they come into our room with the housing director. "So, you boys been smoking or setting stuff on fire or something?"

Not I, said the duck. We said, "Uh... no." The housing director looked suspicious.

Turns out, the long-time practice held by the people living next to us of throwing cigarette butts into the palm trees finally caught up with them.

All I can think is that I'm glad it wasn't me. I've done the same thing occasionally when I'm over talking to those guys. All I need right now would be to get thrown out of housing for causing more serious damage this year.

Gah.
