Salinas Activity
Jeff and I went out to dinner at Ikebana, our favorite Salinas sushi place. While we were stuffing our faces with food, we overheard one of the sushi chefs mentioning a fire in the house next door. Jeff went out to look first, then he came back and I went out. We both saw this house with bright orange flames coming out of the left window. As we were finishing our dinner we heard the procession of fire trucks and police cars come this way. While we walked out to our car, we witnessed the firefighters in action, taking chainsaws to the house and cutting out holes in the roof and cutting down walls.
On the car ride home, we saw Salinas Police pin down and handcuff a suspect on the side of the road in front of the Shell Gas Station by our house. What an eventful night! Cops are always busy here in this town.
