You get used to it after a while

Warehouse ruins

If you were watching the news in the days after the Hurricane, you might remember the wharf and warehouse fires that errupted and burned, unsupervised, as well as the repeated denials from the owner of the warehouse that there was anything dangerous in it.

This is that warehouse. It's about two blocks from my house. When we returned, the smell of propane and incinerated metal and cement lingered in the air. It smelled like 9/11.
