Albany Implosion

Along with many others we waited all week to watch the implosion of the Hotel Wellington in Albany NY today.

We did chores a little early to make sure we were done in time.

Then we sat through what seemed like interminable political back-scratching and chest puffing....all that free advertising right there on TV for all to see.

Just as impatience nearly sent me back to the kitchen it began.

It was pretty cool. Lots of fireworks, a little dynamite, lots of dust and booming and all that stuff...nearly made up for the politics.

But all I could think was that there will be a lot of confused pigeons tonight...homeless even....I wonder where they will roost.
