Thursday miscellanea #262

We had a major scare this morning when a suspicious package was found on a railroad tanker car filled with hydrogen fluoride. It turned out to be a small package of marijuana, which is kind of a comical end. It was serious for some time, though. Hydrogen fluoride is exceptionally nasty stuff, and best I can tell, authorities did a great job with containment, orderly and sensible evacuations, and the like. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen!

The Rocket City Bloggers are working on something pretty doggone cool. Watch for more details soon.
Our first trip to I Love Sushi is imminent. I may write a review if I have enough to say.
