There was a bad fire here in Socorro this weekend. The couple of people I was online with Saturday night might remember me having to bug out because of a power failure; apparently that was associated with the fire, though in what way I don't quite know. I didn't even hear about it until Monday, and didn't happen to pass by the affected area until yesterday, but, man, the results are impressive, in a really depressing way. There used to be a building there. Now there's part of a building and a hell of a lot of rubble. Particularly sad for the (copious) geek population: it took out an ISP and a gaming store.
