So this was my morning. How are all y'all doing? (I'm a few blocks away, so I wasn't directly in it, but it sure made for a loud and exciting morning followed by a weird commute that involved taking a conference call while standing on a street corner (E 7th and Scotia, to be specific) because buses couldn't get through to get me to work.)
