One night, there was a spectacular car accident on the major thoroughfare in front of my (former) condo. A flipped-over SUV, people stumbling across six lanes of traffic, emergency vehicles from all directions, screams. I called 911, ignored the scene for a while, and my food delivery (a delicious bacon cheeseburger with french fries) arrived. Midway through my burger, I noticed that the injured had all been ferried away, the wrecker had arrived, and lots of burly firemen and paramedics and cops were milling around the SUV, clearly plotting to flip it back onto its tires. Foolishly, FOOLISHLY, I left my cheeseburger unattended to watch. Of course, my huge gray cat climbed into my chair at the table and daintily supped on the burger. He was most pleased.
