did you notice if perhaps it was actually a simmering caldera of lava, and maybe what you were actually seeing were the first fissures of the impending supervolcano eruption?

2012 is coming early, blood. I've been using all this time off of work to finish my unsinkable boat. Keep yer eyes peeled for Jill E.'s Essay Contest. Grand prize winner gets to live with me and 10 other juggalos/ettes on the unsinkable boat, the S.S. Ninja. There are four second place winners. If you win a second place prize you will be invited to live on board until (a.) we run out of dumpstered chips/ bagels/ bbq sauce or (b.) help establish a colony full of righteous ass indiviuals.

I wish someone would have told me this stuff about Hilliard before I bought a house and moved there.

Too late, I'm already in a mortgage. Know any suckers who like hell-mouths?

Another weird one for you. On Friday evening, I was about to turn left off of Morse Rd. and was alarmed to discover that two fire trucks, which seemed to have materialized out of nowhere, were rushing up behind me. I'd already slowed to the point where I couldn't pull over, so I came to a complete stop, avoided pissing myself, and was relieved that they were able to get past me and turn onto the street where I'd been headed. It took a few seconds for it to register that "Pardon me while I burst into flames" was playing on the radio as this happened.

I'm starting to think maybe it's you.

Any chance you were hanging around an auto shop on the west side last night, say around 5:45?

That's a cool case of life/music synchronization. My best story is that I was getting off work at about 3am and turned on the car and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was on. (QFM96) Right when it ended, the Dj came on and said that while the song was playing, he got the news release that George Harrison was dead.

WTF? That's very similar to what I saw last month on 71 S near 161-ish.
