Is it live or is it Memorex?

Okay, enough is enough. All of you are ordered to come to my house. Git knows where it is. Hurry!

This could be something to do with Durham Police HQ being cordoned off due to a suspicious package, which I've been following on my scanner. Apparently, someone received a package he had been expecting, bit what he got wasn't quite what he expected and there was dirt or smears on the inside of the package--and white powder. Instead of calling the Fire Department, the man took the package to Police HQ, which means police operations are now disrupted. A full hazmat response was ordered.

Helen, I'm almost ready to leave. What a $#@$#$% day. Would Mike be able to deal with a declawed Siamese? I'll bribe him with a crate full of apples. . . . .

I checked with my station. It was just the usual "suspicious package," all is okay and the PO is in operation again.

I don't know if I can keep anyone alive out here, but at least we'd all know where we all were when we died. I offer the best I can. >;)

Okay. Deep breath. It's a day of hoaxes. I'm going to log out now, make some tea and rake some leaves.

Helen, I'd send Mike some apples, but my transporter appears to be malfunctioning: it turned the apples into applesauce. But it's *good* applesauce.

It's very reassuring to know that people are doing what they're supposed to do--check out suspicious packages. I just wish I could be a bit more used to it so my adrenaline didn't spike at each report!!! It's also reassuring that the police and fire department here have been so VERY quick to respond to the hazmat incident and the Duke explosion, which followed right on its heels. Both incidents are still being handled. Now we have a report of a fire at the main post office, which is turning out to be some abandoned furniture nearby--I expect a homeless person was smoking. . .

Massive disruption potential now that everyone is back to work. Part of me says I would toss the envelope and not saying anything, I would be so mad. I don't know how many people work in my building, probably well over 1,000. That's a lot of time lost if the building has to be evacuated for a hoax.

A couple of very heavy sentences (after all, it's like "crying 'fire!' in a crowded theater") and any copycat crap should stop.
