it fucked up the red line, too.

A stiff breeze tends to do that these days

We were there when it happened. All anyone know was that cement was falling off the building and we all ran.

We checked on a few people around us who had wet cement on their backs. They were OK, but when it started faling a second time, we got the hell out of there.

Wet cement falling on people? it had to be that damn roadrunner and coyote fighting again.
