If you'd had a dog during your kitchen fire, he would have barked and raced around and grabbed your ankle. Cats are so bemused and disinterested. (Kate's cat Angel tilts her head when she's thinking deeply about something, usually our supper and if she can get some of it.)

I have a friend whose house burned to the ground when he was a child. His mother had left some stew on the stove, and somehow it boiled over and caught fire on the burner. By the time they returned home, the firetrucks were already there. Vic told me that the heat was so intense that the nearby asphalt sidewalk was melting.
