Initially I thought you meant different buildings.

Good for everyone — except the people whose apartments are right there. I like that they draped the immediate facings of like 4 buildings, and the dust and debris immediately blasts out about 10x as far.

And since it will remind someone else of this... the Kingdome demolition. RIP.

"If I look up I know the machine is there
The framework's in the system
But the blade is missing, it's only sky
Wayward clouds and
Bright blue sky

"The convict Me is hiding in the flowers
The convict Me is convinced he can't be seen
Next to the guillotine
La Guillotine de Magritte"
