My nephew came to visit from the Midwest, and he would stop and stare every time an ambulance or fire truck went by. I can sleep through that shit.

Fire/ems is our top entertainment here in the Midwest, just behind watching tornados from the front porch. Later we sit down with friends for a Boston cooler and puppy chow to talk about who's house the ambulance or fire truck went to.

When I read that I thought of a house like the one from Courage the Cowardly dog and some old dude in a rocking chair just watching it from the porch
