Bombs away...

So yesterday there was a bomb scare outside my office. The police cordoned off two blocks of Madison Ave for about 1.5 hours. I managed to get to work on time yesterday so I was in the building. The police stopped letting people in a few minutes after I got to work. By leaning waaaaaay out of the windows, my officemates and I could sort of see what was going on. The most interesting by far was the fact that the Starbucks on the corner was still serving people coffee - even though the customers couldn't get in. Yep, all the barristas were out on the sidewalk, taking orders over the police tape and delivering coffee - until the police ordered them back inside. Bombs be damned to those in need of their morning cuppa joe.

As far as I know, the bomb scare was just that - a scare and no bomb. Just some boob who left a package sitting on the corner or something. Or at least that's all I've heard. I guess these things are so common now that they don't even make the news unless the thing actually explodes. Kinda sad when you think about it.
