The day after American Thanksgiving, Sarah called me in Minneapolis to tell of the inexplicable traffic jam up and down Fremont Avenue (where we live). "Maybe everyone's out shopping," I lamely guessed, because in Minneapolis the big news was the arrest of two protesters who hung a Buy Nothing Day banner at the Mall of America--a pretty sacrilegious thing to do. The next morning I read in a Minneapolis paper that a bus had plunged off the far end of this bridge in Seattle after a lunatic shot the driver. I called Sarah, who hadn't yet heard the news, even though we live only three blocks from where the bus landed after its 50-foot fall. |
