Another explosion that Piroshki had nothing to do with

Earlier this evening I heard a “BOOOM” somewhere in the middle distance, but not so loud as the house that blew up, not so as to startle you.  L and I wondered idly what it was, and she speculated it was a distribution transformer exploding (they do that occasionally around here).  A couple of hours later, someone posted to the neighborhood association listserv to say no, the commotion was really about a live WWII “pineapple” hand grenade that a neighbor had found while doing yard cleanup.  The bang was the bomb squad blowing up the grenade in a nearby vacant field.
