The Washington Canard
Where C-SPAN is the local TV news

RE: MY HEALTH AND SAFETY

This is what's going on outside my apartment complex, right now:





It's a good thing that mercury isn't airborne.

UPDATE — Wait, wait ... what?!?! Who wants to help pay my medical bills? I'm taking pledges in the comments below ...

UPDATE, 10PM-ish — Well, it looks like we're digging in for the long haul. See those port-a-johns on the back of that truck three photos off? Now they've joined several others on the opposite side of the street. It's difficult to tell what's going on from up here, and I don't have the digi handy to help confuse you as well. Know this: The fire trucks departed a few hours ago, but the police and various unknown public vehicles remain, as do the TV vans. I count three, but there's probably at least one more.

Mercury may in fact be airborne on occasion, but I assume I would've been relocated to a hotel if it had been in this case. If this is the last post of the Washington Canard ever, well, then I assumed wrong.
