Good thing we finished buying our furniture in December

Because one of our old reliable suppliers burned down this month in Israel - IKEA.  Check out this link to see a picture and more of the story.  No one was injured, as it started in the wee hours.  But having closed down this store on a few Friday afternoons and Thursday evenings this fall, I can tell you there will be many sad Israeli's, as it was always packed with shoppers and Swedish meatball eaters.
