We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, so terrible.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, god, sarameg. That's just about the worst thing that could happen to a person. Poor little girl, poor parents. How heartbreaking.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, man. That is just a tragedy, Sara. I am sorry for all.

So many feelings, fear not anywhere in there. Even if it isn't the dad and daughter pair I've crossed paths with, that is irrelevant. It was a daughter waiting to go swimming with her dad. I hope our community comes together for them.

Oh, Sara, that's so awful. Just heartbreaking.
I just called 911 to report what I'm 99% sure was 2 rounds of gunshots that sounded like they were south of our house. I don't know how far the sound of gunshots travel, so I don't know how far away, realistically, they could have been.
I'm not particularly feeling unsafe, although, yeah, home invasions happen. But it's most likely drug/gang activity. (Which, I should clarify, I'm not happy about, but what I mean is, they're targeting each other, not homeowners. I don't feel like I'm in danger from random violence, but I still wish like hell it would stop.)

I get it. I never have felt unsafe in my hood, but I am definitely known as the hyper vigilant, yell at kids and drunk pissers and go to when a less trigger happy friend wants to know whether 911 or311. (911, unless it is trash.) I always dial 911.
But we definitely have drugs and gangs on the periphery, always finding places to encroach. I'd like there not to be a periphery at all. Tonight wasn't my street because this hood pushes it out pretty effectively ( because I'm not the only asshole busybody.)And it landed on a 3 year old's porch.

I am so sorry, sara. The stupidity of gun violence just... blargh. Senseless.

And now I'm jonesing to be on a jury and pretty sure to be dqed on the kind of case I'd like. Hahfuckinghah.
Senseless is right.

Sucking down my coffee and then off to walk thru that same neighborhood on the way to market. Have concluded not enough hours in this weekend.
