Story of the Day 10/ 05/ 2016

The third part of the story occurred, yesterday.
Yesterday, after the holy day of Rosh Hashanah was over and I could turn the computer and my cell phone on,
Sarah let me know that she wanted to Skype.

It turns out that the girls had a very interesting day.

Yesterday afternoon, Sarah’s roommate gets a text from the maintenance man.
The girls live in a four apartment unit building, and the other tenants,
all of the other tenants, had contacted him because the girls smoke detector has been going off.
The other tenants tried to get the girls to answer their door,
but, because there is no flashing doorbell, the girls had no idea that anyone was knocking furiously or ringing the bell or….
They were also pretty sure that the smoke detector was not going off.

So, they both went and got on a chair and touched it, but it did not seem to be vibrating.
Then, Sarah’s roommate went and put on her cochlear impant and got up near it,
and Lo and Behold, their smoke detector was goibg off. Furiously.

The maintenance man, now let into the apartment, took the unit down and away with him.

I suppose we should all be worried, now, that they have no smoke detector in their apartment,
but, on the other hand, even after the firemen fixed how it was installed, it wasn’t going to do them any good.

It did, this most recent incident, however, seem to spur the maintenance man into asking the girls where he could get a flashing detector for their apartment.
I am, however, sure that with this level of diligence, he will get one,
and possibly not correctly install it…
and what about the flashing doorbell?

I think it is reasonable to assume that a part 4 of this story is in the works….
