Hmm, I suppose this was still occurring yesterday after the Jazz Festival ended too? Couldn't catch the 28.

The big bomb squad vehicle, which sort of looks like a blacker, more futuristic fire truck also went past my apartment yesterday morning, and clearly has the scariest siren in town.

See, if you parked your car in your garage instead of hoarding crap in it this would never have happened. I was trying to catch an N at Carl & Cole about 5:45 - there was a lot of confusion, an N train going nowhere and about a hundred people standing around in the street. Glad it didn't go off.

So let me get this straight. Some guy found a WWII morter that's been sitting around in a garage for 6 years and all of a sudden it's an emergency but people are killing themselves in record numbers in this town but let's shrug our shoulders and say, "well, what can ya do?" Is this sudden morter shell emergency just the authorities version of throwing a drunken orgy to impress the neighbors?

we were sitting in traffic at steiner and carl. the activity was at a house on carl about a block down from steiner. the bomb squad trucks, accompanied by a cadre of sfpd and sffd vehicles left the scene and were escorted down stanyon, onto oak/fell, and then into the park via jfk drive. from there they made their way out to wherever they are now (30th?). the escort was all code, and they had motorcycle cops blocking every intersection along the way saying "go inside, you don't want to be here"...
