excitement, for once

well, i was out back looking for bugs and stuff, and i found a live 23mm cannon round. it was half-buried and rusty, so i didn't touch it. i kept on walking around the area looking for more, and then i went and told my boss about it. 10 minutes later, half the squadron was out there looking at it. people were standing right over it, for some reason... when explosive ordnance disposal showed up, we all had to evacuate 300 feet away and wait. i was hoping that they'd explode it right there on the ground, but they just threw it in their truck and drove off. i'm sure there are literally tons of unexploded ammo and mines out behind our shop. i'll keep my eyes open.
another day saved.
