It's back to evenings spent marking incessantly. Tonight I had the fire on, which made it lovely and warm in the living room.
a level 5 alert fire is the highest level a fire can be gauged. a level 5 requires the assistance of all available firefighters to help control the situation. yesterday i came across this fire incident which was given this status as the conditions, high level winds, water shortage and very dry weather, induced the flames even further. this large fire razed through this community of urban informal settlers in metro manila scorching hundreds of houses that left hundreds of families homeless. firefighters were able to control the fire after 12 hours

Day 71/365
Not a picture about me today. This is a Fire Station that's next to they Y where I work out. I walk by it almost every day. The truck seems to be called out almost every day while I'm at the gym. It usually comes back quickly, so fortunately they seem to be false alarms. When now out on a call, the truck is usually in the garage. I was glad to get a chance to get a picture of it today.
Since I didn't really give any information about myself yesterday, here's something for today that has nothing to do with this photo. I was born and raised in the US. I met my partner (who is Canadian) in St. Louis. After we had been together a few years, he was homesick and wanted to return to Canada. We moved to Toronto about ten years ago and I now have dual Canadian/US citizenship. I had thought about doing a picture of my two passports for this week, so I'll probably wish I had saved this fact for another day. :-)

Vedic Brahmins chant the vedas and make a fire offering. These offerings are made at every auspicious occasion like wedding or construction of a new building. Traditionally three out of the four Vedas are chanted. The Rig Veda being the oldest in antiquity has been in vogue for not less than ten thousand years. The vedas were passed on to the next generation of pundits with unparalleled fidelity for many millenniums by oral tradition alone.
The costume and the appearance of these Pundits have not changed for more than a millennium. View LARGE.
