In
this city is a mess
my poor friend and neighbor K got threateningly approached (How much money do you have?) as she got home a little while ago tonight. They followed her until she managed to get inside and get the doors locked. Yes, she called the police. We occasionally have these crimes of opportunity around here. Anyway, I've told her she needs to call me from her car after she parks, and I'll walk her to the corner and watch as she gets into the house, armed with a phone and a rake. She's got a roommate or I'd have her over for the night (if I could get her to leave the house.)
The alleys are problematic, because they aren't within view of everyone's front rooms and porches, and with decks and all, not a straight line view. And for those living on the curve of Ellerslie and 36th, alleys are their primary entrance.
Anyway. Hate when this shit comes into my community.
I was in Detroit over the weekend, and holy shit. It's really tragic there. Blocks and blocks are deserted, so many burned out and otherwise abandoned buildings. Yikes.

It is. It has been pretty bad for years, but the economy and a horrible, corrupt mayor and school system have really fucked it up beyond what it was before. Even the casinos aren't helping much anymore.
I was at a wedding, so no time for anything else. I did get to a casino, but only for a couple of hours (including lunch).
Speaking of Detroit, I saw this series of photos linked on Twitter the other day, and it's just jaw-dropping.

fast,
lady.

FUN!! If you ever have to come back and need quick pick up from the airport, let me know - we're 20 minutes from Metro.
And man, that was fast, lady.
I kinda might have gotten the interview about 6 hours after I got laid off. I hate not working so much.
All the best for your interview, Aims. Awesome references is the best way to start.
This is pretty nifty. A preacher in Amarillo said he was going to burn the Koran at a local park. Not only did a bunch of UUs show up to protest, but a skaterdude swooped in and snatched the Koran from the grill. [link]
