i turned up the heat

it was cold in my office on tuesday so i turned on the heater at work. and it started a fire. well i thought it did. because of the smoke. turns out it was just a short in the heater in my office but we had to evacuate. so i took out some work and did it outside. the fireman asked if i started it. and i said maybe. which he thought was funny because i guess he was trying to make a joke? i said i may have been in the line of causation. so i almost died. but not really.i almost died once before. but not really. it was in dc. i woke up one day because my room was shaking. i thought that was strange. turns out a helicopter was circling my house. at some point i remembered i lived in a no fly zone (i totally recommend it-so quiet). anyway, there were also pentagon police in my yard so i knew i was probably in moderate danger. a cop asked us if our house was secure...i said no and asked him to conduct a search but he declined. but he did search my shed. i called my neighbors alex and alex to see if they knew who the suspect(s) were and what they were in for. alex was pretty nosy and knew everything in the neighborhood. but he and alex were in spain celebrating their anniversary. otherwise he would have known. anyway they apprehended a car jacking suspect in my neighbors backyard.
