I took a peek at some local-ish headlines... I mean beside my town burning down on Saturday and some Oregon woman flipping her Cadillac SUV and taking out a power pole yesterday, both very near and loud with sirens.
Sample headlines:
A LOOK AT CONFLICT BETWEEN PROTESTERS AND DRIVERS
[UPDATE 1:37 P.M.: OPEN NOW] THOMAS ROAD CLOSED BECAUSE OF DOWNED POWER LINES
SHELTER COVE HOMICIDE VICTIM IDENTIFIED
[UPDATE 6:41 P.M.] VAN OVERTURNED ON AVENUE OF THE GIANTS; OCCUPANTS REPORTEDLY TRAPPED BY DOWNED POWER LINES
[UPDATE TUESDAY] THREE-YEAR-OLD INJURED AFTER BEING STRUCK BY A VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO SCANNER TRAFFIC
APARTMENT FIRE FORCES OCCUPANTS TO FIND SHELTER ELSEWHERE
[UPDATE: ROAD NOW OPEN] A TRUCK ON FIRE HAS BLOCKED ALDERPOINT ROAD, ACCORDING TO SCANNER TRAFFIC
VICTIM IN FATAL HIT AND RUN IDENTIFIED
[UPDATE 8:56 P.M.] EPD DETAINS THREE AFTER ALLEGED ASSAULT WITH BAT ON BOARDWALK
STRUCTURE FIRE BURNING INTO THE WILDLANDS NEAR HOOPA
I wonder if this has anything to do with my reluctance to brave the long series of road repair stops to get down to the rest of the world....
pipe up any time....
