Yellow Caution Tape

Tuesday, February 22nd 2011

There was a small fire in the basement of our condo building today which led to the shutting off of our power & water starting today and ending who knows when. When I got home tonight, I thought it would be back on but the building and the entire block was pitch dark. It was kind of spooky because there were big trucks, bright lights, loud construction noises, and workers all around. It felt like I was in a movie where something bad happens and when all the residents come home from work, they find they are locked out of their home due to the hazardous event.

I was walking by the parking garage where it looked like a woman was driving her car out of a black hole (the driveway to the basement was so dark I don't know how she made it out but she did). There was yellow caution tape tied across the garage and no one was allowed to drive in. She was about to get out and move the tape or something when a man standing near held up one end and it only made sense that I would hold up the other end.

So there we stood, holding the tape up as high as we could, which was just high enough for her car to drive under.

This wasn't exactly the night I was expecting to have, but it sure is an interesting one!

Peace :)
