Taking Leap Day Seriously

My bus got re-routed this morning coming into work. As we turned back onto 2nd avenue the normally subdued workers on their way to work started buzzing towards one side of the bus. There was a lady wrapped in a blanket threatening to jump from about the 7th floor. Police were trying to talk her down. They had the bullhorn from the street, and a couple more helping from the window she walked out onto the ledge from.

Here’s the article for proof http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/353242_jump01.html.

I don’t know how it all went down (another bad pun…sorry) but I didn’t want to stick around to see something I’d regret seeing. I made that mistake by watching the Daniel Pearl video and I’ll never do it again.

Anyway, when I told a co-worker about it, he reminded me that it is “Leap” day afterall. So wrong.
