Where is the DNT's breaking news alert on this one??

DNT is busy writing the breaking news alert about the honking tree...

It's all over folks. . you can go home now!  The best rumor I heard was 'there was a knife fight at the Twins'!

DNT has nothing (typical).

TV stations have a little:

Yes! The DNT finally updated their site with the famous red, and I quote, "Breaking News" banner: "Explosives team removes material from car behind Duluth bar"

Whew! Thanks for that, DNT. I'm glad you told me, in case I wanted to walk down to the co-op...three hours ago.

i knew a nice older hippie lady from Chicago whose dad had been in the OSS during WWII, and had a couple of old explosive contraptions in his possession when he passed away.

The whole family knew about them because he had a habit of bringing them out at family gatherings for the kids to look at while he told them stories.

I can't remember whose responsibility it was to inform the authorities and have them come pick them up after he'd died, but she did say that it was a huge to-do, as they first had the cops out, then they called the bomb squad...all the while the family present had to basically play dumb while being questioned about them.

Vicarious -- when I checked the DNT site after I saw this article for the first time, there was a red-bannered news alert up...for Wednesday's snow forecast.

You wouldn't want to go transporting explosives feeling all twitchy, so stopping for a couple of beers is probably a super idea.
