After lunch I was walking out to my car and I heard a noise, like a pipe bursting. A construction crew across the street had punctured a gas line and the workers were running around frantically turning cars in the other directions. I drove closer and a worker yelled for us to turn around, so we did. You could smell the gas all the way to the interstate, it was horrendous. I'm pretty sure all of the local businesses were evacuated, including Walmart, or at least I would hope so. And I would know for sure if this were an important news story, but the local newspaper is too busy covering Black Marriage Day, an important new holiday to be observed to "recognize the significance of marriage within the black community."
Unreal.
