Under attack!

A couple of days ago, I was sitting at my desk at the P-I busily scanning the wires for important business news, when I heard a loud booming sound. When I went out onto the deck to see what had interrupted my industrious labor, I saw some ships firing their cannons toward shore. They must have had bad aim — they were shooting right the P-I building and never hit it. Lucky for us. Apparently the ships were headed to Tacoma for a Fourth of July ship parade. The P-I had a story on another of the ships in the parade a few days ago.
