Just got a call from Damsel (Carol). She and Crash are at a motel for at
least the next couple of days. The fusebox in the basement decided to do a
melt-down in the middle of the night. If Crash hadn't awakened... well
let's just say the basement was thick with smoke but it hadn't made it
upstairs yet nor was anything yet in flames. They and their pets got out
safely. The power company has shut off all power to their house until
further inspection can be done; it appears they will have to have it
rewired.
