THE THREAD!!!

It was a great Masters finish, KEM! [:)]

Sounds like another working weekend coming up, because Muggins here is apparently the only person on BBMF who can look after the Hurricane (and hasn't concocted a flimsy excuse or pre-booked leave). D'oh.

I hope things aren't going to go the way they look like going, else I might actually have two kites to take care of. The rumour is that the boss wants to take PZ (resplendant in her SEAC scheme, with the wrong exhausts and no Vokes filter) up for a spin.

Appears to be a couple of bombs near the end of the Boston Marathon finish line. Some casualties.

[Schanilec]

Heard that. At least two dead. WTF. Who is it this time?[:@]

[nashvillen]

Have not heard any claims of doing it yet...

[DuckofTindalos]

And we won't know for a while. Let's hope the death toll doesn't climb higher.

Another explosion at a Boston library, and two more devices being disarmed by police.

Actually that was at the JFK presidential library over in Dorchester, not one of the Boston libraries.

Seems to be unrelated.

Just happens that a bomb also goes off there on the same day? Most likely related.

[DuckofTindalos]

Nobody has proven that it was a bomb at the library. The two at the marathon, yes. A third one detonated by the police. The fire at the library has not been linked to a bomb yet; plenty of other stuff can go bang.

That's true. It could be swamp gas. It was only coincidence that it exploded at the same time. [:(] Or an overload in the consumption of "Boston Baked Beans". [:D]

[DuckofTindalos]

It's only a convenient coincidence because it happened at the same time. Besides, isn't today a holiday in Mass.? Was the place even open? If it was a bomb, what would be the point of detonating it in an empty building?

[witpqs]

Early reports are always like that - all I've heard/seen is that a bomb exploded at the JFK Library. Nothing about 'fire possibly caused by a bomb' (to paraphrase what I think you are saying). We just have to wait for better info.

[DuckofTindalos]

True.

Patriot's day is an extremely minor holiday. State employees are the only one's off. The Museum would be open today, as it would on most holidays.

True.

Family in the area says that at the latest Boston Police press conference they said there was an electrical fire at the JFK Library, NOT a bomb.

Bite your tongue! [:D]

BTW, Flag Day is in June.

Lol! Try standing in front of a Bostonian and say that!

Good morning!
