Nope. I'm safe because I'm the neighborhood crazy.

There's been a lot of talk about that over the last week or so here. Aside from his side gig as a bank robber, the guy seemed to just be a bizarre combination of hoarder and bomb nut. So he hoarded explosives and just packed them up all over inside his house. So many, and so much that no one can safely go into the house. So they're just going to burn it.

Kinda sucks for the people who actually own the home he was renting though.

That's only because they don't have Kao's address.

I assume insurance won't cover it either, seeing as the officials are declaring it a public nuisance?

I'm thinking in my neck of the woods you're more likely to have a house blown up by an unsafe meth lab than explosives. Well, this IS Florida... maybe it's a 50/50 of one or the other.

And for some reason the Canadian anthem just started playing in my head.

That's how I read it to, which isn't surprising since we probably equal 1/3 of Florida's population.

Don't think I've ever heard of a safe meth lab before. I grew up on a farm and know how freaking dangerous it is to work with anhydrous ammonia, and that just putting the **** in the ground.
