My surf-fishing trip was cut short this morning by a bomb that went
off in a trash can around two miles from where I was fishing. It had
been planted along the route of the Semper Five 5K charity run.

Nobody was hurt, but it was creepy. I didn't hear the bomb go off,
probably because the breeze was blowing the wrong way and the surf was
right in front of me.

So I came home to get out of the confusion; I'll go back again
tomorrow, if the road isn't blocked off.

You could just tell us you they weren't biting and you left early ;-)

So how did you find out if you didn't hear it?

I was in God's country in Michigan's western UP when a bear hunter told
me about the 9/11 attacks. I thought it sounded pretty wild... It had
been a long day already, left the house early morning to go exploring
via topo, compass and GPS. So I mosied back to my vehicle and turned on
the radio. Yup, the guy wasn't pulling my leg. Decided it might be a
good idea to fill my fuel tanks (had dual tanks) rather than wait
longer for a better price (I thought it was too high when I arrived
several day's earlier). Made me feel better to have enough go juice for
the 600 mile trip back home...
