life of uncertainty

I do not feel like working, nor does any one really as all the managers are gone to a Real Estate convention in DC I believe.

I had quite the night...
Dana and I went walking, it was was leisurely as we were discovering new trails through Bush park. It was almost 9 by the time I came upstairs but we did talk at her car for quite a while.
I watched a PBS thing on Tupperware :) and went to bed early with Elijah.

I was awaken by Elijah around 1:30am to this very strange buzzing. I think he actually woke up because he was thirsty. I went to his room where I thought the buzzing was coming from and turned off his heater because I assumed it was the only thing in his room that could make such noise. As I got closer to the heater I realized that the noise was coming from outside and that people were poking their heads out of their apartments. Apparently there is a fire bell right outside Elijah's window.

It was surprisingly not that noisy and it wasn't until I was fully awake that I could even tell there was a bell type ringing as well. It went on forever, there was no fire, the firetrucks came. I was awake for quite some time... (How many times can I say quite?)

As I have relayed this story several times today I realize how strange it was that I had absolutely no sense of danger. Not really for any time did I consider the possibility that there was really a fire. Perhaps it is because I know they have been doing some rewiring. Perhaps it was the calmness of all the people outside.
