Yikes, indeed! I hope everyone's all right.
I remember when a refinery holding tank exploded back when I was in high school. It was about 15 miles away, yet the house still shook a bit, and everyone was outside looking towards the northeast. The workers cleaning the outside of the tank (and causing the explosion when they used blowtorches to do some improvised sandblasting) were vaporized. I lost a second cousin when the grain elevator he was working at spontaneously combusted--that one cracked windows for miles around.
My friends a block away said they thought a truck hit their store.
If I feel really crappy and low...I can eat half of this cadbury caramello bar and it's TOTALLY FINE, right?
I don't know. Half doesn't exactly show a lot of follow-though, does it? Better go for the whole thing, just to be sure.
I'll bet!
I've been hearing thumps and booms all day- I think it is trees and branches going down in the ravine. I was in an interior office in a meeting around the time that boom happened.
Allyson-- eat less than you want, but do have some. Then you get all the fun of chocolate without the bitter self-recrimination afterwards.
You may want to save some in case you feel low again this week. I mean, I hope you don't, but perhaps you should be prepared.
Bam. Explosions scary. We lived down the street from one of the IRA nail bombs in 82 (Hyde Park). House shook, windows rattled, and I ran outside to see what the commotion was all about. I got to the end of our street but couldn't work out to turn left or right--windows were shattered either way, as far as I could see.
I'm so very grateful I didn't take that right turn and reach the site of the explosion. I'm also glad at the classmates who had been sitting near where the "matching" Regents Park bomb went off, and walked away about an hour before it exploded.
Timelies all!
Best of luck on Thursday to Teddy. {{{Fred Pete& Hubs&Teddy}}}
FredPete, ~ma to you and Hubs and Teddy.
Eek! Explosions! Glad to hear that Buffistas & friends are okay.
Do you think anyone would notice if I flung myself out the window rather than grade the rest of these tests? Yes? Dang.
