It's been quite the interesting week in Pittsburgh...
Monday, we saw the triumphant return of Sidney Crosby to the Pens lineup, scoring 2 goals and 2 assists. It's good to have him back!
Tuesday, we find another school (Pine-Richland HS) evacuated due to an empty bomb threat by an unknown source. Luckily the police didn't find anything, but this type of occurrence appears to be increasing in frequency over the years. Hopefully the police are able to develop ways of tracking down the culprits more effectively and perhaps harsher punishments would deter this type of event from happening.
Wednesday, a black flood of tar-like roofing sealant was spilled along the turnpike as the tanker truck drove from New Castle to Oakmont with an open valve allowing the substance to spill along the turnpike. Nearly 300 cars reported getting stuck in the goo and having to be towed due to damage from the sealant. Crews spent all night and the next day scraping sealant off of the road.
Thursday, we all celebrate Thanksgiving...except for those who have to work at any of the retailers who decided to open their doors at midnight rather than early on Black Friday. Sucks to be the person who needs to catch a few Z's in the middle of Thanksgiving so that they can stay awake while they work at midnight.
Friday, a lot of people celebrate Black Friday by camping out the night before and rushing in the doors of their favorite retailers to get some of the best deals of the year. Black Friday originally got its name for being the most disruptive day of the year for pedestrian and vehicle traffic, but it later turned more into explaining the day that retailers start turning a profit for the year, ie. being "in the black".
