Funny how a headline-making event can happen just down the road from here and I only learn about it when I switch on the TV at lunch. Particularly an event that goes off with a bang. I heard nothing even though it seems the explosion occurred at roughly the same time as I was arriving home from a shopping trip. Since, sirens have been coming and going all afternoon.
Uncomfortably close to home mind you. Less than half a mile away, and right opposite a small supermarket I was contemplating going to for my shopping trip. Good thing I chose to go in the opposite direction. And they've been digging up pavements and roads, replacing pipes round here for the past few months...
