The day after MI-2 was supposed to be a lazy office day but instead, we found ourselves tackling a dangerous affair. At headquarters they decided that it was time to burn down the house! At first I thought that they wanted to put up a smokescreen. But then it got closer to headquarters, so I thought maybe they want to burn all evidence of our missions. But no, wise Ms. Zulu told me that it is a yearly affair.*
Ms. Zulu has many missions that went up in smoke under her belt. The belt became so heavy that she eventually had to take it off. Yesterday’s flaming affair was my second time but I don’t really remember the first one. I must have been itsy bitsy teenie weenie. This time, Ms. Zulu and I took it upon us to supervise the event. Of course safety first, so this was all done from within headquarters behind a fireproof window. When all was behind us, M gave me a glowing review. I had remained calm and relaxed in a smoking hot situation. That is not an easy feat she said. I guess we can say that Ms. Zulu and I have deserved our rest.
Stay safe,
B

I agree.. to stay calm is such a situations is very brave… when all our natural senses scream “run!” and we stay calm then this is probably a BIG success…

That looks really dangerous! Benji, my friend, I have to tell you that I don’t understand what is burning and why.
Have great day and beautiful dreams.

A prescribed burn my friend is done by headquarters to restore the longleaf pine forest that used to be all over Florida. The burn also reduces fuel thereby reducing natural fire risk during thunderstorms and such. I had beautiful dreams afterwards of chasing pinecones… Wishing you a wonderful caturday weekend.

The wisdom of Ms Zulu is immense, that is the best position to supervise, Ruty is a great supervisor and she adopts exactly the same pose …
Beautiful photo.
