Bomb scare tonight!
In the 'hood: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/baycitynews/archive/2006/05/31/bomb31.DTL
As I mentioned to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
steluch, since it wasn't a) ultimately a big splodey problem and b) not actually tied to the Islamic Cultural Center despite the proximity of bomb squad action directly outside, not so bad a resolution (for the neighborhood, not the terrorized witnesses).
And I got to meet a whole bunch of neighbors, friends and/or co-workers out on the street in concentrated fashion. And met our friendly neighborhood police, so it was weirdly community-building as well. Much like the episode involving the low-flying helicopter possibly stealing a file cabinet from a nearby building, only moreso, since this wasn't at 7:30am on a Sunday.
So, um, come to our birthday party Sunday if you're in the area--I promise there won't be 'sploding. Well, except for the firecrackers that may be going off by then in chinatown, since it is June, which is very nearly July 4th.
