Note to self: A blowtorch is NOT a shovel

There are some things in life that nobody enjoys doing, like shoveling for example. Everyone has their own approach when it comes to shoveling. You have some people who do it right away to prevent the snow from piling up. Then you have some people who put it off until the snow stops so they can clear it out all at once. And then you have those people who just wait for the sun to come out and melt it all away. But for some people, not one of these approaches are good enough.

New Bedford, MA is the proud home of one of these people. Yesterday, a very very unintelligent man set his triple-decker home on fire while trying to melt the ice on his porch by using a blowtorch. Yes, a blowtorch.

I'm not quite sure what could have possibly been going on in his head when he thought that this would be a good idea. I'm sure the tenants in the other two apartments would also like to know the same thing.
