Harry Potter and the Urban School Nightmare expresses early burnout with blogging and possibly teaching! They write:

Check out these must see photos of yesterday's Metro crash aftermath. Read our interview we posted last night with a Deputy Fire Chief who was on the scene and ended up driving an ambulance.
