in the boom-boom room

.
Serene and peaceful and happy and ... BOOM!

Today, a friend sent along an evocative video clip (sorry, there doesn't seem to be a version that excludes the short ad at the beginning). In the upscale Schwabing district of Munich, an American bomb dropped during World War II, nearly 70 years ago, was uncovered several days ago. The bomb needed to be detonated.

The detonation Aug. 28 rattled windows in the upscale and more-or-less serene district of Schwabing.

Every serenity is an open invitation -- perhaps "demand" is a better word -- to boom. Every boom is an open invitation -- perhaps "demand" is a better word -- to serenity.

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled serenity.
