Luv, it seems like something explodes, catches fire, or crashes messily in Baltimore at least once a week. I started to be perturbed, then I remembered that in and about the Beltway is just as bad, if not worse -- there was a car on the Shady Grove overpass, smoking. White smoke. It was supposedly totally engulfed, but that's usually black or dark gray smoke, with a car. People worry me, sometimes. *shakes head*

This morning's traffic report on WGMS was actually... entertaining.

First they had a tree shredder turned over someplace totally blocking the traffic. At least, I think they called it a tree shredder.

Then there was a car fire near Sha... *rereads Xi's note* Yeah. That.

It usually just burns (Baltimore is quite flammable), and that's definitely more than once a week during fire season and not exactly rare the rest of the time. Messy crashes are less common than fires, and I rarely hear explosions too big to be guns or firecrackers.

Though there's a dip in Fulton Ave. that makes trash trucks sound a lot like they're exploding when they catch the light green and go over it too quickly. That took a little getting used to.
