Monday News, I Mean TUESDAY News ...

We had a bit of excitement today.  A fire broke out at Prosser School of Technology, so all 750 students, including Andrew, were evacuated.  It was brought under control pretty quickly by firefighters from four area fire departments.  The fire started with an explosion in one of the auto tech departments, the class of one of Andrew's best friends.  Thankfully it started right after the students had been dismissed for break, and no one was harmed.  There was a lot of smoke and water damage, and a lot of equipment ruined, but classes will resume tomorrow.  The sprinkler system and fire walls that were part of the original construction of the building kept the fire contained.  Andrew's computer tech classroom is on another side of the building, so he was nowhere near the area.

Across the river a University of Louisville student was arrested for allegedly making a false bomb threat.  What are these people thinking?!

The weather today has been nice.  We had a shower overnight, and we just had another shower about a half hour ago, but in between saw very sunny skies and warm temps.  I think my weather pixie even had on a swimsuit for a while today!

Tremendous relief no one was hurt. Of course being at Andrew's school at to be fearful enough. We have nothing but rain to look forward for the next ten days except Sun. This is Spring? Would love to see the sun at some point here in NY.
