First Friday in February

I had an adventure last night, but I lost Internet and couldn't share as it was happening.

First, my sister likes to fry food and will put pans of grease in the oven (!! I know!!) till the oil cools. Which is a fire hazard, so I generally take them out and discard the grease.

Last night, I poured the grease into a container and washed the pan, forgetting to seal the container and take it to the trash. And yes, Levi and Pai Mei had a bacon fat snack. Since Levi is prone to Negritudes and they're both old, I was up worrying about them and their gurgling bellies.(so far, so good) 
 About eleven o clock I heard all sorts of banging and crashing at the neighbor's house. We live on acreage so I couldn't see what was happening, but I did notice flashlights in the darkness...and then fire near my fenceline. Fire that accelerated very fast. So I hustled my sick dogs back in  the house, grabbed a flashlight and marched out there in my pajamas and sweatshirt.
 Oh...BTW...they also have a grow out there. So my courageous move was a little stupid.

I got to the fence and there are about ten young people...maybe high school seniors, and they've dumped a truckload of pallets at the back of their property and were building a massive bonfire.

I told them that I was NOT happy about bonfires near my brushy property in the middle of the nigh and made them swear they had a hose. (I doubt they did)  Then I marched back to the house and texted a friend with Cal Fire to see if it's legal to have a bonfire in February.

As it turns out, it is and since they were polite and not noisy, I opted not to call the sheriff. Today I will report them for burning treated wood, which is illegal.

So yes, up till the wee hours, checking on the fire and walking sick Siberians.

Who are now fine.
