420:
Shortly before lunch Throbble wondered why all the helicopters were flying overhead.

This happend 4 blocks from our apartment at 11:30 am today:
PG&E looking for cause of Tenderloin blast

--- Quote ---J. Anthony Reed, 47, was watching the movie "Hangover" at the AMC Theater on Van Ness when all the lights went out and the smell of burning rubber filled the theater.
--- End quote ---
That's a multi-story movie theater that Throbble, Cuchulann and I regularly meet at to see movies together.

It's 6:00 pm now and the helicopters are still buzzing.

Post here about anything interesting that's happening in your neighborhood.

Meclar:
My neighbor put up a new mailbox post.  That's the extent of it around here.  We don't judge distances by "blocks".

Soul Sojourner:
I don't have a "neighborhood."

cuchulann:
Well here's a scary incident. 420 has said that commuter cycling in SF is an extreme sport. Its even more true when your ride is a rolling time bomb. Last week I discovered that the reason for the irregular rubbing of my rear brakes was due to the rim being cracked. So i got a new rim and after changing out the gears, i cleaned up the odl rim to see just how bad it was. When i peeled back the liner on the inside I saw just how bad it really was. Not just cracked but complety splitting apart on the inside. This thing could have exploded at any moment. I've heard about bike rims exploding before but never have i been so close to getting first hand expierence to such an event.
