Is it a bad omen when...

...the restaurant you pick to go to dinner at is on fire when you get there?

This happens at an alarming rate in my family. Twice in Florida, once down the shore and now in the next town over. DD arranged dinner out with my parents last night and we decided to meet at the local Bennigan's because it's 2.5 minutes away. When we got there the parking lot was packed with police cars and fire engines and a faint haze of smoke.

So through open car windows, and the rain, we conferred and decided it might be a good idea to eat someplace else.

The outside walls of the local diner are made of that shiny metal stuff, so we figured that might be a safer bet since it's probably less flammable.
