Things that exploded in Brooklyn Heights recently.

A halogen bulb:

My lightbulb exploded

A rat:

Dead rat

Now, calm down an have some coffee.

Coffee left on a brownstone railing


The rat did not disturb me. I can only think somebody's kitty cat was having a nice meal and had enough. This is no more troubling than the rest of nature. But please don't take it back to your dorm room for cooking in the popcorn popper.

The bulb on the other hand... do you see that hole in the glass? I was 5 feet away from it when it exploded behind my head. It sounded like a gun shot, lit up the room like a lightning bolt, and I had no idea what was going on for a terrifying fraction of a second until I turned around and saw the light fixture smoking.
