Escape from the poison gas cloud

From the time I got back from the “end of Mod” party at the Library (that’s the name of a bar on Franklin Street) at 1 this morning to when I woke up eight hours later, all the local TV stations have been airing wall-to-wall news coverage of the chemical factory fire at the nearby town of Apex. The fire created a toxic cloud that resulted in the evacuation of approximately 15,000 residents. This was the top story on the “Today Show” this morning.

 

Wouldn’t it be sweet if next Wednesday there is another toxic cloud and this time the wind blows in the opposite direction forcing the town of Chapel Hill and the university to evacuate and our fixed income final exam gets postponed.
