When the fire started (small gas leak which got out of hand) I went in
the house and got the extinguisher. My wife was afraid that the thing
would blow in a giant ball of fire like a movie scene so she wanted me
to stay well away from it. I have not been married for 42 years
without learning a thing or two so I listened to her. That plus I
never really liked that mower anyway.
Never having had the opportunity to photograph a flaming mower before
I got the camera and started shooting the conflagration.
The fire guy asked if we had a hose and when my wife said that she
thought one does not put water on a gasoline fire. He replied that
they do it all the time with car fires. Live and learn.
All in all, no one was hurt, except the mower, I got some nifty photos
and an interesting tale to tell.
Well, tomorrow we are off to the grand re-opening of the Saugus Iron
Works National Historic Site. Photos from a previous visit are at

Hehe- Thanks for the details. I was thinking you were either a
youtube wannabe, an idiot, or an insurance scammer.
Now I've got you pegged as a guy who's been married long enough to
know when to say 'Yes dear'.<g> ['oh, and BTW, honey, now that
filming is over. . we need a new mower']

You should have went for the fire extinguisher instead of the camera.
