BLOWN AWAY

Without going into the kind of details that could get me into trouble, know well enough that the office complex I work at DC is one you have undoubtedly heard of. Now consider that around 10:17 this morning, the following e-mail found its way to my inbox:

Subject: Incident at The [REDACTED] This Morning

This morning at approximately 7:30 AM, the police were called to [REDACTED] to respond to a “forced entry” call. When they entered the [REDACTED] room, they discovered what appeared to be a pipe bomb. The bomb squad was called in and [REDACTED] Ave was closed from [REDACTED] St. At approximately 9:15 AM the police determined that there was no threat and they reopened [REDACTED] Ave. Had there been a need to evacuate, our property management firm was prepared to make a building wide page. I arrived at the scene at 7:50 AM and was in close contact with our property management firm and key individuals in [REDACTED].

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

That could be difficult, you know, if I'm already dead. This was news to me, and everyone else at the office. Except for one co-worker -- he had seen it on the local morning news and sent an e-mail an hour earlier.

If this blog mysteriously ceases to publish at some point, you can probably turn on the news and find out about it before I do.
