Things seem to be peaceful in my neighborhood this morning. My phones — both landline and cell — are kinda screwed-up but they've been that way on and off for weeks. I may have to break down and bring a serviceman in…something I've been trying to avoid while in isolation.
And there are still copters aplenty in the skies above but they're not covering rioting; they're showing the aftermath and the beginnings of restoration. It's depressing to see some of the burned-out and looted businesses but it's also encouraging to see how swiftly some (though not enough) clean-up is commencing.
I'm taking at least today off from blogging. I care about this stuff but right now, I need to not think about it too much. Writing things that have nothing to do with politics, viruses or civil unrest is a good way to do that.
