FIRE!

We live very close to an abandoned Hotel.  This Hotel has been empty  and used for storage since 2005. During the weekend it became the site of a five alarm fire.

Luckily nothing else in the area caught on fire.  This happened early on Sunday morning around 3:00 AM.  There are still fire trucks there today (Tuesday) because every so often a fire starts again in the burned out shell of a building.  There were six structures and only one is still standing.  Arson is a heavy possibility.  The news said that the owner of the hotel had not paid taxes for the last four years.  Now they can afford to pay the taxes with their insurance claim, right?  Arson, well...maybe????

The cats are doing well.  I'm doing battle with the fleas again but that seems to be common for Summers now.  I believe that the Frontline Plus flea treatments are no longer working.  I think the fleas have become resistant to those chemicals.  Even some Vet techs agree with me on that one.  Something new needs to be developed to combat those horrid blood suckers.

The makers (Pella) of our new sliding glass door will be out to see our new door on Thursday.  There is a 1/4 inch square spot in the center of the door that has zero coating on it.  Both the stationery and the sliding door has glass in them that appear to be distorted. if you move your head from side to side it looks like like there are vertical lines running through the glass.  I now refer to our new slider as the fun house door.  We'll see what happens after they inspect it.

Good Night From Muttzncatz's Place

  1. That is too close for comfort. Can you imagine if others were still living near that end. You could see it from Pat's old house for sure ...Not good at all on that fire nor the flea's.
    There was that other flea treatment and now I can't remember .IT cost more though very good. It's an internal medicine ...I think the aminal's would win the war on you though If you had to give the 2 dogs and 8 cats...um.yeah.. they win you lose ...lol. lots of mouths to fight with.....hahaha And I know them.
