On Sunday October 8, 1871 a fire was started in Chicago, yet the reason still remains unknown. Many skeptics have multiple ideas on how the fire started. The oldest and most iconic is the Great Chicago Fire was started by Mrs. O’ Leary’s cow. Who supposedly kicked over a lantern while the cow was being milked. The O’Leary’s were a poor family with three children. The fire lasted two days and died out on an early Tuesday morning. With a result of killing about 300 people, and destroying 2,112 acres of land. Not only that, the fire left more than 100,000 people homeless. The blaze lasted so long because Chicago at the time had rough winds and dry conditions. The reporter, Michael Ahern later on admitted in 1893 that the story of the O’Leary’s was fake. Therefore the cause of the Great Chicago Fire is still unknown.
My slice of life. There's not a lot of my life to write about, because... I live a kinda boring life. Just being honest. But yesterday, I did something. So I was at my grandparents house. And, I had a lot of homework. But, I was with my whole family. That's very rare. Either my sister is working, or my dad can't make it. Whatever the case is, we're not all together. But yesterday, we were. Oddly enough. So, I was trying to do my homework, and block out the noise that I was hearing. But let me tell ya, that's very hard. So instead of trying to block it out, and distract myself. I just didn't do my homework at that moment yesterday. Instead, I ran into the kitchen to try and eat something. I ended up not even eating a full meal. I ate jello. But hey, at least I didn't starve. I really don't know what the point of this blog is, as I've mentioned before. I HAVE to do this.
