Boston Fall down Go Boom
I forgot to blog about the crazy dream I was having when I woke up this morning.
Something was happening in Boston to make most of the larger buildings and bridge supports collapse, and what people remained stream out of the city.
In the meantime, I received mail correspondence for someone in New York, where something like it on a vastly smaller scale had happened and they were caught up in it to the point of complete ignorance of Boston being in the process of wholesale destruction. I replied back telling them to pick up a Boston Globe or Herald and get with the program.

My first guess would be a cave-in of the Big Dig.

When the April Fools Blizzard of 1997 dumped between two and five feet of snow on my part of Upstate New York and levelled entire forests with snow-laden hurricane-force winds, knocking out electicity to some towns for up to three weeks, nobody in New York City heard a single thing about it.
If a nuclear bomb vaporized Albany, most New Yorkers wouldn’t know anything about it until the flow of money that upstaters send in to keep the subway running (so that all the rich, tax-dodging New Jerseyites can get to their high-paying jobs on time) stopped coming.
