City Life -- It's the Bomb

Mrs. Generik and I were in a taxi coming back from the doctor's office yesterday afternoon when we reached an unusual traffic snarl on Bush Street at Franklin. There were police cars and police tape blocking off the street, and lots of police officers rerouting traffic and generally walking around looking very concerned. When we got to Van Ness, we realized that there were also plenty of firemen on the scene as well. Dozens of what appeared to be employees from local businesses were out on the sidewalks doing a lot of serious milling about, and everyone seemed to be in a lather over something.

It wasn't until a few hours later that I learned from the TV news what all the fuss had been about.

Scared, me? Hardly. I have other things to worry about.
