News flash

News flash for Philly-area folks, and probably for non-Philly folks as well: at this moment they are evacuating the offices of one of my old employers, Clemens Markets, because they found a package with some sort of powdery substance...

...which I'm sure will be found to be coincidental and harmless. I'm not sure of all the details but I'm sure this kicks off the nightly news.

With the (news flash II, if you haven't heard) reporting that someone at NBC received the same sort of form in the mail, everyone in the country is going to be on incredibly high alert. There ARE going to be hoaxes, because (as we know) stupid people proliferate everywhere, and the idea that a box of flour is going to make an office panic will be too tempting for some of them.
