Exploding Garbage Truck in New Jersey Puts Monday Blues in Perspective

I always try to brighten your Monday morning with the thought of, "Well, things could be worse". I certainly think the idea of having your house melted by an exploding garbage truck will cure any case of The Mondays.

However, there is a silver lining to this cloud of rancid charred refuse. Miraculously, nobody sustained any injuries. The drivers escaped from the truck when they saw the first bit of smoke in the cab and no resident of the four affected houses were caught in any shrapnel of the exploding burning truck.

Hamilton NJ is 332 miles away from where I'm writing this post and I bet, if downwind, it looks like I could still catch a whiff from that hideously toxic monstrosity.
