The rain came back, probably because I evicted the mushrooms from the backyard along with the dog poop. I understand we did get a huge amount of rain in the last months of the year, making up for the very dry last winter.
Back to work - an exhausting night doing inventory. It still was very dark in the morning.
As we were going into the pet supply place to get fodder for the ravening hounds, hordes of police and fire vehicles came screaming into the parking lot near Toys 'R Us. Apparently Panera, the new restaurant that backs up to it, had a fire in the kitchen. When we left I looked, but it hadn't burned down.
