Smoke Signals

Man it is hard to get some shut eye around here. If it isn't mortar attacks, IEDs going off, noisy people, or people knocking on the wrong door, now it's the smoke detector in my room.

Last night around 12:30 am, two hours after I fell asleep, the alarm on my smoke detector went off. I waited a few seconds to see if it would turn off by itself. Nope, it didn't. I had to get up and turn on my blinding fluorescent lights and wave my hand at the thing. Two swipes and it shut off, no smoke was in the room. Strange, eh?

Maybe my late Grandpa Joe is watching over me, smoking his cigars.
