Fireworks? Were the fireworks being stored next to one of those bunker busting bombs the US military has?

Bet the city officials that approved the construction of a massive and incredibly volatile fireworks factory on one of the main ports of one of the major capitals in the Middle East are feeling mighty silly now, mighty silly indeed.

There were firework involved somehow because you could see them but call me suspicious the fireworks can cause a giant mushroom cloud and shock waves like that.

I'm constantly amazed when people to react to stuff like a MASSIVE EXPLOSION IN BEIRUT by pulling out their cameras and filming. I mean, I'd like to think that I would just grab any family members close and run as far as possible.

Because nobody expected such a large detonation would result from a warehouse fire, putting people who were filming from very far away in danger?

Reminds me of the video of the warehouse explosions in China a few years back. First two explosions weren't that threatening, were pretty far away...then that third HUGE explosion made the person filming and his friends realize if there was a next larger explosion, it would take them out. That's when the fear hit and they started seeking shelter.

It was just 2,750 lbs of ammonium nitrate that someone had stored for 6 years. Now why they needed to store that for 6 years is another matter.

Per Navy EOD, probably not a warhead. A lot of bad things happening all at once. Chemicals, gasses, etc...all compounding the explosion.

*Late weekend notes:

*Friday night went to dinner with the family. Daughter wanted Texas Roadhouse...Middletown, thankfully.

*Saturday furniture shopping with the wife and daughter. Found nothing.

*Saturday night we went out with some neighbors to Stoney River, then 502 for a drink, then back to their porch to booze some more.

One of the people I met may be known to some of you as he gets to drink beer at UK games, LEGITIMATELY. Cousin of Beau Allen and Nephew of former UK QB Bill Allen. Can't think of his name but he's a Corrections officer. Good dude.

*Sunday we hit the pool then farmers market.

*No statement, but Golf is the only sport I've watched. Just can't get into sports as it currently is.

*MIL bought a house in the neighborhood. Good for her.

Man, eff Stoney River. Had reservations for the family on Saturday evening and get a call a few hours before to confirm said visit...

"Sir, just want to confirm your party of 6 for 5:30?"

"Yep, we're good but we've got a five year old in tow so can you pull up a booster seat? See you shortly!"

"I'm sorry sir, did you say you're adding one more to the table?"

"Yes ma'am, but she's five and won't be ordering a bone-in ribeye, so I don't think she'll need much room at the table."

"Sir, that now changes the size of your party and I'm not sure if we can honor that reservation?"

"You're kidding, right?"

"No sir. Let me check with a manager....



....sir, the manager says that changes the size of your party and we can no longer honor that reservation."

"Ha, you can't be serious?"

"I'm sorry sir, with our social distancing rules we can't add one more to your party."

"First, stop calling it a party. All 7 are in the same family so we don't need to worry about infecting the party. And with your capacity rules, I'm sure there won't be anyone near our table. See you soon!"

"I'm sorry sir, would you like to speak with our manager?"

"Is he going to tell me the same thing you just did?"

"Yes."

"Just tell him to go f**k himself. Thanks!"

With limited occupancy, declining revenues and peers going out-of-business, one would think restaurants would go out of their way to accommodate parties brave enough to leave their home and hand them hundreds of dollars. Guess chains can afford to take a pass?
