All this [...]

I heard sirens…
Not unusual around here.. but then…instead of going past my street.. they came on my street!
My first view out my side window… this one wasn’t actually on my street.
But the one below sure was! I went out to find 3 fire engines and two police cars, but didn’t see any reason they were [...]

I don’t know if anyone saw it, but I watched Andy Serkis last night on PBS portraying Vincent Van Gogh. If I hadn’t already seen him in person and heard his normal accent I may have been shocked that Van Gogh didn’t sound like Gollum ! heh.. just kidding.
