Maybe this fire story is more complex than I thought. Someone (who knows about such things) believes that there might be a small explosion related to the incident. And those two gunshots, that I heard the other morning (at exactly 3:08 a.m.) might be a detail. I don’t know about such things; I am just paying attention to what others say.

Today, a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate died. I know, he did some other, less important things along the way, but the name Gorbachev deserves to be remembered. With respect. Not everyone is “the enemy”’.
