Now authorities face the risky task of getting rid of the explosives. The property is so dangerous and volatile that that they have no choice but to burn the home to the ground this week in a highly controlled operation involving dozens of firefighters, scientists and hazardous material and pollution experts.
As the woman quoted in the article said, that's INSANE.

(The whole set is worth looking at, if you want a taste of Baltimore's xmas parade. It's a lot, but it is awesome!)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am simultaneously disappointed and relieved that I will not be in Baltimore for Christmas.

Baltimore is special. I love it (clearly.) It's so interesting and unselfconscious and broken and proud and homey and friendly and complicated. And it is beautiful.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Really hoping this is nowhere near any of our California-istas!!
Nope, but I used to live there. And am flying in, I think, Thursday. I should make sure the freeway is reopened.
That is honestly just messed up. I hope the controlled burn stays controlled.

Nosy Jack of Hampden? I swear to you, that is EXACTLY what my neighborhood's 4th of July parade is like.
...yeah, I have no idea. Anyone who pays the entry fee can be in the parade. Groups of friends are encouraged to enter, and come up with a theme. Like lawn gnomes. Or the kilt guys who say Down With Pants.
And possibly my favorite out of all the years, random luchadores. (Who were followed by a political candidate. That is my neghborhood in a nutshell.)

If you don't know Jack...
It amuses me that groups come from out of town to be in our parade. It's that kinda special, apparently. There were star wars and metal masks and central american dance troupes. And local vintage cars and high school dance troupes who really shook their asses like whoa. Teen guys seriously working it in metallic hotpants and an evangelical christian float informing folks christ was coming with multiple young Jesuses.
