Hey furiends, I just wanted to let you know of something terrible that happened recently. On Friday evening my friend Kenji (www.furaffinity.net/user/masukari) called to tell me he had just been burned out of his house.
His family is all okay. The house is still standing; it's just been gutted. The fire was started by a parts washer on the ground floor, in his dad's shop, and ignited some solvent. Kenji told me that the nearby solvent tank could have, but did not, expode. That would have probably brought about the total destruction of the house.
Unfortunately, they have no insurance.
Since Kenji basically lost almost everything he owns, I took the liberty of going out and buying him something he's wanted for a while - a brand new Nintendo DS and some games. Gave it to him when he came over to drop off some salvaged stuff for safekeeping at my place - he was floored. I felt very good to have helped.
I figure he needed it, for when the shock wore off and the boredom of having nothing to do but work and salvage set in. For now he's staying with Greymane, and it's my squad's current mission to keep his spirits up. ^.^
Again, thank the heavens no one was hurt in the fire. Kenji told me that the fire's heat was so intense it melted plastic parts on his car - which was parked 30 meters from the house.
It could have been much worse, friends. Much worse.

Thank God.
