Sign of Times

Yesterday was kind of gloomy, cloudy and scattered rain showers felt through almost through the day until about 5pm and it brightened up a bit. It's a point in time when the Far East used most of the solar light.

Before that:
At about 3pm when a loud siren was heard outside in our village, one can only wonder and watch what's happening at that moment. It turned out there's was a house on fire almost close to that forest nearby. Then there was a rushing ambulance and rescue operations going on. It was fast and quick. The fire department and the police force wasted no time to put off the fire. The owner of the house was probably thankful that these men and women in uniform are truly worthy of praise.

If that happened in other countries, the whole house was already burnt into ashes and the next of the houses burning still because of how slow the rescue effort is. But sometimes, the problem is lack of water or water is not enough to sustain the situation. Or if there are few authorities in service to do the job. Sometimes there are more lurkers and bystanders doing nothing but watch.

How to send a SIGN? When it's all smoke and no fire? Aha! One time back to my previous work , one of my co-workers told me, "there's fire in the fields." I rushed outside to look out where the field is located and if there is then it's time to call 911. But there's no fire. I went back to her and said, "there's not even a smoke." And she didn't say anything after that. Is that a trick or what?

I hate something like that. It's not good! Tricks don't work on me especially if its something pertaining to a kind of "fire." Fireworks yes, that's good in some countries who knows how to use it. There's a Chinese mega mall in this particular country where they avail themselves of fireworks celebration almost every month as a sign of harvesting profit and on the other hand to drive away bad spirits.
