I was awakened last night at 10:30 by my boss asking me if I wanted some overtime to go fix a stop sign.  Being the model employee I am, I accepted.  I asked where it was and he said Mattawa.  Not only was it near Mattawa, it was way east and south of Mattawa.  We're talking Vernita Bridge deep.  A few more miles and I'd be at Hanford.  Anyways, he said that there was a hay fire in the area and I shouldn't be alarmed if I saw it.  The fire happened to be across the street from the stop sign.  It was neat to see.  It didn't make a lot of sound, but it was hot!  No firefighters were to be seen, so I assumed they figured they'd let it burn out (which they usually do with hay fires).

The sign took about five minutes to fix and I was on my way home.  Got back into bed just before 2 am.  I am tired today, but the extra money will be worth it.

(In comparison, last night I accidentally burned up a napkin and let it smolder for around 42 minutes. Inside. Light smoke billowed throughout my apartment while I watched Person Of Interest and glared at the stove, which I thought contained the fire.)
