    Why is it when my town makes international news..........

    .....it's always negative, or funny ha ha? The smokestack was the only thing remaining of the old coal burning electric plant. Apparently the demolition crew does not know how to blow things up. Their bid was the lowest, but all of those empty beer cans should have been a clue. I would demand a refund. I wanted to watch it, but they kept the event timing a secret because of the traffic it would draw. I am not the only person who loves to watch stuff blown up.

    Everybody likes to watch stuff getting blowed up. Too bad you missed it, that would have been exciting.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Woah! First time I've seen a demolition and everything is headed your way.

    Some of the best moments in life are the ones that remind us we don't really know what's next .
    I won't question your Creator's wisdom , but you are responsible for your own actions .

    I check the obits page everyday to make sure I am not on the list. How do they get everyone to die in alphabetic order anyway?
