2:30 am...fire alarm...evacuation onto the street....
Took a while for the fire department to show up, especially since they are literally a block away. I can pretty much stand on the street corner and see them. Still it took them more time than necessary to come to the conclusion that it was a false alarm.
Mean while, the wonderful residences of the Vogel house stood on the street perplexed, speculating as to which burnt dish manged to set off the alarm this time...
A bum or other vagrant stood on the sidewalk mixed in among the residences making comments and was the first on the scene to tell the fire department that it wasn't him. Which was thing followed by a brief performance of said bum trying to communicate with the canine citizens of the Vogel house by barking and general attempting to induce a dog fight. Important to note that no applause was given.
And several minutes of sitting outside we were permitted to leave re-enter our apartments and were promised that the landlord would be on his way to reset the alarm.
Promise has been kept and now it is back to bed for me.
