Tuesday night was designated "burn stuff I don't need" night. I collect all my old receipts with signatures, stuff with phone numbers etc. . . . Then I burn it all . . . about every year or so.
So Tuesday night, I was sitting outside my building enjoying a beer . . . watching the fire . . . when I noticed two guys run around the corner of Loeber Hall, pointing. Then one guy pulls out a cell phone. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but it sounded frantic.
"I should say something," I thought.
So I stood up - beer in hand - and waved.
The first guy says, "Hey, it's outside."
They smelled smoke from in front of the Chapel and walked over to see what was going on. Smoke was billowing up from Mezger. There's a huge flood light on the corner of the building, so it made the smoke look pretty impressive. That, and the burning candle in my window right above the fire, and it looked like Mezger was about to go up in smoke.
I complimented them on their vigilance and returned to tending the fire . . . .
