Some times you can't just make this stuff up. Dateline: Pasco County...just north of St. Petersburg and Tampa. St. Petersburg TIMES headline: "Fire Damages Home In Nudist Resort.""A two-story home in the nudist resort Caliente caught fire today. The fire appears to have started in an RV parked in the home's garage. There might be damage to the home's roof, and the fire may have gutted the garage." Seems to me that there was a great deal of speculation going on here. No one seems to know, nor apparently care, what exactly happened or to what extent was the resulting fire damage. Makes one wonder if there may have been other activities going on that were serving as a larger distraction to the main event.
Continued the news report... "Bowing to the chilly weather, residents of the resort gathered around the home in sweatshirts and sweatpants to watch the blaze." That's how the story concludes. No mention as to whether or not a local fire department responded to the fire, and if one did, were the fire fighters disappointed or relieved that the spectating residents were more modestly attired? Perhaps it is a fortuitous thing that the fire occurred when this part of Florida is experiencing its first real spell of much cooler weather. Had the the fire broken out at the height of the summer, no doubt the house would have burned to the ground. Firefighters are dedicated and brave individuals. But let's be reasonable: If there was a bunch of totally naked people standing around gawking, wouldn't you have difficulty concentrating on the task at hand?
Like I said, "Some times you just can't make up this stuff up."
