Unbelievable Stupidity

Salut,

Those of you following me on Facebook most probably know by now that I had to put out a fire last night in front of my house... Yeah... Weird... An 8 feet tall evergreen, besides my front door, in front of a large bay window was on fire... What the FUCK!!!

It started while the kids were in the bath... Actually, Marilaure was done and was talking to her boyfriend on the phone (yeah, I know). I was playing the piano in the mezzanine when someone started knocking on my front door and ringing the bell like crazy. I thought it was one of my kids' friends... Come non already...

While walking down the stairs, I saw sparkling lights through the bay window and wondered... Hey... I didn't put on my Christmas light yet, WTF... So I go there instead of the door, cause... You know... Not sure which kind of freak is knocking at my door like that, I want to look through the window first to see who's there before opening the door...

WHAT? Flames!!! FIRE!!!! So I open the door to see a frighten friendly woman that was driving by, saw the fire and came to warn me... KUDOS MAM... She runs back to her car and I run back inside to dial 911... But the line is busy... No, not 911, my line... My daughter is still online talking to her boyfriend, so I ask them to hang up and finally contact 911.

They put me in contact with the local fire department and while I'm on hold (yeah, I know), I ask my daughter to take the phone again and tell them the details while I go take the matter into my own two hands. I get the hose out of the garage and start playing firemen (without the uniform, sorry girls, but the guys are on their way, a few of them were actually pretty good looking, you missed a good show, especially that they didn't have much to do :-).

I finally get to put out the fire on my own and the fire truck arrived a few minutes later. They looked around, make sure there were no damage to the house and that there are no sparks left that could start a fire again. No clue how it could have happened, they looked around a little bit more, no electricity there, nothing, and it's dark so we conclude to a stupid smoker walking on the street and throwing his cigarette butt randomly towards the house... That would be stupid enough to justify the title of this post... But wait, there is more...
This morning, when we got out to drive my little one to her dance lesson, her big sister noticed something under the tree that we didn't see yesterday because of the darkness. I look closer, and I recognize wrapped paper, like newspaper or magazine. But I don't have time to pick it up. So I guess, maybe a publi-sac that had been blown there by the wind at one point. And, bad luck, the careless smoker's cig butt would have landed right on it... Maybe... But wait... there's more...

When we got back home, I took the time to get that thing out of there. Wasn't easy to navigate between burnt branches, and walking in the mud... I even got a large trace of black soot on my favorite Quiksilver... Damn... But wait there's more...

When I pick up the big ball of wrapped paper (about 10 inches wide), big disappointment in the goodness of mankind... I see a large flat rock (about 25 square-inches and an inch think, FUCK!!!)... This seems to have been on purpose... TABARNACK!!!
Who the hell is stupid enough to do something like that???... If I wasn't there, my whole house could have been gone in hashes... Or worst, if that nice woman wouldn't have stopped to warn us, we may have not noticed in time, and my life, and even worst, the lives of my two innocent children would have been in great danger.... CALISS!!!!

Anyway, all is OK now, but that stupid butt head is walking freely and laughing at his own stupidity... What could have gone through the mind of someone to do such a stupid thing? To me... It is simply UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Unbelievable STUPIDITY!!!!

BYE
MAD... For once... I am.... Arrrrrrgggghhhhh....
