fire light, fire bright, called in a brush fire tonight

driving to work, talking to Rita on the phone. and as i round the corner I see the glow of a fire. i have seen people build a fire on the side of the road. and most of the time no big deal. well supervised, blah blah not my concern. but this fire is in the mist of a not official trash dump.
get off phone with Rita and call 911. give name and directions. I do not have mile marker. I do not remember the exit # off I95 so it takes 3 call backs to get the fire truck there. I called Adam and he told me it was Exit 58 at Nellis. I knew the Nellis exit but not the numbers.
the fire truck arrived and i went to work.
it is hare for me to understand who some one could see the fire and drive by. I had to stop and wait for the help to arrive. I am just anal that way.

this morning while walking the dog, the trash truck came and emptied the dumpsters. this truck made a mess. there where spots if trash and broken glass at every dumpster location. I see the man carries a broom om the side of the truck. and i gave the dog leash to James and started walking to the trash truck but James told me to come on and lets go home..... there is a cleaning crew that works Thursdays they it is their job to clean it up.
so i went home
tonight i had to drive around the broken glass that people have driven threw all day.
times like these i get so aggravated at James. however i understand I am a pain to live with. I correct everything when we are shopping, eating out, or walking, I sometimes interject myself into others conversations. with commits or directions or complaints or what ever.

but i see the person as needing my help. they must not know how to solve this problem. other wiser there would be no problem to solve.
anyway he knew that about me for more than 14 years why is he surprised now? if i can fix it now i do not have to drive around it latter.
tonight I waited for the help to arrive. it is my job to report natural,as well as man made disasters that affect my job. even if it is not in the fenced in area i guard.
