Busy and not exploded

jedishampooWell, if you heard about a big house explosion on the south side of Indianapolis, I wasn't in it. (Just found out this morning that the news even made it to BBC, wth?) Anyway, my house is about a mile and a half from where the explosion happened, and they still haven't figured out what caused it but they haven't shut off power or gas around here.
I felt it last night at my parents' house, which is another three miles away, though. I had just gotten back from a shopping trip to Chicago and I was walking Fuu, about 11 p.m., and there was a giant boom somewhere to the southeast. It was in the direction of my house, so we jumped in the car and zipped home to see everything okay here. I turned on the news when I got inside and there was a giant, uncontained fireball, and an entire neighborhood with houses either on fire or shaken apart, and people being evacuated. Eee, I hope it wasn't an accidental gas leak thing. Anyway, I had actually looked at a home in that neighborhood when I was home-searching! I sure hope the people there can get back home soon, and get their houses repaired quickly.
In other news, my friend and I are going to make a visit to the Indianapolis Art Museum today, whee! I haven't been there since I was in college, around 1999 or so. It's no Chicago Art Institute but they have some nice little collections. (My favorite in any art museum is usually the Medieval/Renaissance collection.)
Happy Sunday, and happy Veteran's Day, everyone. :)
