(I don't know why I did the dots, but oh well... :):):):))  This is really random, but yesterday, I was in the car riding home from my writing class, and we saw a bunch of fire trucks and police cars.  Then, I saw a house with a huge cloud of smoke that was pitch black covering one side.  It freaked me out, because it was in my friend's neighborhood.  We finally got home, and I turned on the news.  No one was home at the time, except for two doggies, but they came out alive. :) Then, I saw that there was another fire the same day, only this one was in Standish (I think...).  Zoe!!!  Then, I went down the stairs to my to my computer, to e-mail my friend (her phone wasn't working).  Fortunatly, she said it was her neighbor's house, but it really scared her....  I noticed I had an e-mail from a friend that was one of those annoying chain-letter forward, forward, forward, if you don't send this to at least 27 people by 12:00, you'll have bad luck for 18 years, things. (:P) It was about this little baby who was severly burned in a fire.  Then, watched a TV show, that just so happened to have, *suprise!*, fire scene!  Today, in grammar, one of the sentences was about, *another surprise!*, fire!!  What is up with all the fire I've been hearing about?!!?!?!  AHH!!!!!!!

Sorry, that was really random...  I just wanted to tell somebuggy...

One night during a HUGE thunder storm my parents were watching a tv show and they heard fire trucks very nearby. They looked out the window and *gasp* the church next to my house was hit by lightning and burning. I was a humongous fire and my dad carried me across the street to get a better look at it. It was really scary and we weren't going to be able to get any sleep so we drove to my grandparents house for the night. We couldn't back out of our driveway to get to the road though so we had to go through the feild in back of our house.

 

Hey, Paige do you know where the white church is on Oak Hill Road is in Standish??

The white church on Oak Hill Road...  Let me think...  That road sounds REALLY farmiliar...  Be right back...  Whoa!  I just looked it up on Google Earth, and I guess I never realized that the heart of Standish is SOO close to the heart of Gorham. :D (yes, I did know that they were next to each other, though...) ((I live within walking distance of the "downtown" Gorham))  Sorry, I don't know it!  Do you know where the white church (:D) on County Road in Gorham is?!

OH MY GOSH!!!

I read this thread this morning and then when I was at the Science Museam today THERE WAS A FIRE!!! I EVEN SAW IT!!! :0:O The fire was only as big as one you would find in a fireplace when the fire alarm went off though, so it wasn't a big one.

I have a weird story. Okay, so we were driving to our concert for our youth symphony, and the auditorium was about 1/2 hour away. About 5 min. after we started driving, we saw a cop pull somebody over. About 5 min. later, we saw another cop pulling somebody over. 10 minutes later, we saw two cops pulling somebody over. After the concert when we were driving home, there was a cop pulling somebody over. About 5 seconds later, we saw another cop pulling somebody over. Then about 20 minutes later, there was another one... it was weird
