the rest of the bridge is set to be imploded on dec. 8 in the afternoon if you want to miss this one too.

Can't remember the last time I laughed out loud over the TV news. Been a faithful viewer since Bob and Marianne left Fox Thing in the Morning. Everyone reacted like textbook - Larry was flustered yet professional, Robin was annoyed but didn't cuss, Paul was deadpan, while "I told you so" came from Val. Even Pat played his usual MIA role perfectly.

Oh, and my "Are you kidding me?" moment was when you reported a fire in my office building (330 S Wells) as I was getting ready for work a few years back. Co-workers didn't know the building was being evacuted until I called them.
