A fire in the middle of a voilent gathering of minorities.

My Fifties housing development is built on an ancient peat moss bog with a foot or two of fill dirt on top. My neighbors dug a fire pit for a beer blast. Next morning I smelled acrid smoke. The peat moss was burning!

No doubt this will be used at yet another reason why Missouri taxpayers have to come up with a few hundred million for a new stadium for the Rams. The Jones Dome is a firetrap.

” I bet it was hard to extinguish.”
It certainly was, and if we hadn’t gotten it out, it could have burned down the whole neighborhood!

Speaking as a long-time Rams fan, it was just too bad the Rams didn’t catch fire during the game. It was a tough loss.
