Can you send Charles to get the pictures? Based on his last post, I believe he's an expert at snapping packages.

Watching this mess from my office balcony. The cops just arrested a woman who wouldn't stop her car when they asked. They have the bomb searcher out now; it looks like a Roomba (I call it a Bomba.).
The entire park is closed off now. Where will the baseball players play? And the homeless drink on a crisp spring day?

@7 what's happening is your tax dollars are being flushed down the toilet one bill at a time as our fearless bomb squad argues over whether or not to blow up someone's lunch leftovers because some string cheese was sticking out like wires.
because everyone knows that terrorists are going to try to blow up a park next. bin laden hates grass.

In Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent the bomb accidentally went off in the middle of a park lawn and blew up the terrorists' dupe.
