How do I miss the sound of an explosion? My neighbor has been trying to sell his 1972 Jeep Commando. He put 8 years of love into restoring it; it’s beautiful. Or was.
Yesterday while I was on the phone, the Jeep’s fuel pump exploded. I didn’t even hear it and it’s only 50 feet away. I knew about it because I happened to hear my brother’s truck out front and looked out the window. My sister-in-law motioned to me to get outside tout de suite, so, of course I did. Harry had called the fire department so they were on their way, but the Jeep was on fire! Guess who had a fire extinguisher handy? Yes, Ms. Safety to the rescue.

Did Harry use the phone or just shout?
I have a feeling this was perhaps the Jeep in question? The one that you now don't have to ever worry about being parked in your driveway? Sweet!
Harry used his cellphone and then shouted, "I called them! I was the one!"
Yes! That was the Jeep that Jacob wanted for his 16th birthday! It's going to be hard not to say, "See, Mom? I told you that car wasn't right for him!"
