**** I just got a text about it so I figured find out what the hell is going on here?

State holiday.

A few years ago I lived in a place the marathon route went right past, and the area where this stuff happened is one of the parts of the city I find myself in most. Seriously cannot process this and I can only hope no one I know has been affected.

I work in import/export did you know that bales of raw cotton is spontaneously combustible?

You can drop a bale of cotton on the street and it could explode.

So much for the Mechanical Theory...shit

Maybe someone wouldn't wear the ribbon? Got to wear the ribbon.

Yes. Patriots Day is a state holiday. It commemorates the Battles of Lexington and Concord. There are re-enactments (at ungodly hours of the morning) in both of those towns, the Boston Marathon is run every year on Patriots' Day, and the Red Sox play at home starting at 11:00 every year on that day also. It's rather a big deal for us.

They are finding shrapnel around the area of the explosion

I'm not sure I want to know but....what comments are these? I missed them, whatever they are.

They're telling people not to use their cell phones either. They're worried a lot of cell signals could detonate devices.

Tax day protest?

:(

Yeah, good luck with that. With kids today, that's like telling them to hold their breath for an hour.
