Yesterday afternoon there was a loud WHOOMP and the apartment shook. A window blew out on the third floor of the building two doors up the street, sending bits of glass clear over to the far sidewalk. Apparently nobody was injured, including the ancient sweeping lady who lives downstairs. The bomb squad showed up, and I was told the cause of the explosion was under investigation, but I overheard something about aerosol cans and butane lighters. It's good to know that the neighbors have interesting hobbies.
