Holy Shit!
News fucking flash! My dear friend Dustin’s house burned down the other day!! He is fine, though he has a bit of a tan. Dustin was put in the unpleasant situation of discovering that his house was on fire while he was upstairs working, and having to run around screaming making sure everyone was out of the house as it burned down. No one was hurt, everyone got out in time, but almost everything in the house of 30 people was lost. He didn’t have a whole lot of stuff, but what little he had, he lost most of. He lost his computer, most of his books, his titanium spork, and some precious mementos. Just a little dirty laundry, his backpack, and a few sooty bits from his room were saved. If anyone reading this knows Dustin and hasn’t heard about this, go ahead and
‘);
while( data[idx]!=n ) {
document.write(‘&#’+(data[idx++]^n)+’;');
}
idx++;
document.write(‘‘);

By all accounts, it seems the fire was caused by faulty wiring in the building. Just a reminder to keep those buildings up to code, boys and girls. Also, remember to back up the stuff on your computer, and save the backups somewhere off site. He isn’t in need of much stuff right now, it seems. Santa Cruz is a good town and he has lots of friends there. I’m going to send him a package with a few books, an article or two of clothing he might appreciate, and some photos that he might like to have copies of.
He lost all of his phone numbers and addresses too, so if anyone out there hasn’t heard from him about this yet, its probably because he doesn’t have your contact info or anything, so send him an email with your details.

I always get concerned when one of the sons i never had has something happen that never should and they need to go somewhere shouldn’t need to for something they already had before. sigh. I sent Dustin an email of support, so i hope to hear he’s doing ok, and I want to know where and when to send support.
