let's catch an arsonist

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2003.07.09

I got a note from the building management today stating 'On a recent visit to the building, the Toronto Fire Inspector has advised us that anyone caught tossing cigarettes off their balcony causing a fire ... will be charged with arson.' I suppose the operative word is 'caught'.
