Fresh incoming from Don Young. The house next door to DY's house burned down Halloween night. The conflagration had Don Young ruminating about some fire, explosion doom possibilities....The vacant house next door to mine burned to the ground Halloween night. We noticed a very bright "sunrise" from our bedroom window, less than 20' away, at about 5 AM. The FWFD was here in less than 3 minutes but could do little. It took about 30 firefighters 5 hours to snuff it but the big house was a complete loss.
Watching the massive blaze I realized that, if this had been an un-odorized gas pipeline I would not be sending this email. How dare City of Fort Worth's elected representatives toy with human lives and property in a dense urban environment. There is a damn good reason I have a sign in my yard that reads, Just Say NO to Urban Gas Drilling.
In the immortal words of Tarrant County Commissioner, JD Johnson:
* "The City of Fort Worth needs to look and study real hard. The closer you get into these neighborhoods ... and around schools and businesses, you need to be careful. Gas is explosive."
*spoken in the final scene of Dirty Ol' Town, 2005

I don't like the sounds effects. It scares me.
