Suspicious package at Union Square Park prompts evacuation and ruins my evening.

There I was, enjoying a cool evening outside of our hot apartment when SFPD and their bomb cleared everyone out. I don't fault them for doing they job, but DAMN, what a way to ruin the perfect ending to a Labor Day weekend.
