Timelies all!
Not as sleepy as I would have expected, having stayed up to watch "Lost". (and had a little trouble falling asleep afterwards)

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

My family is currently hunkered down in the main domicile and not going anywhere and trusting that the private security firm they've engaged will keep them safe from roaming gunmen.
On the upside, the tourist areas are just fine.
Hmmph.
The parts of the world I feel connected with need to start settling down. Can the next inevitable disaster be in a non-populated area, please, Universe? Just for a lark?
Jesus, ita, what's going on? Edit: Or I could, you know, look at a newspaper or something.
Oh my goodness.
Jamaican authorities declared a state of emergency in Kingston after gang members supportive of an alleged drug lord wanted by the United States attacked police stations and blockaded a large swath of the city.
Stay safe, family of ita!
Jesus, ita, what's going on?
Short version: US called for an extradition on the basis of drugs and guns charges, our PM said no you obtained your info illegally, then PM said yes, and some of the public went wild. Irrationally, violently, wild.
The US is trying to extradite a drug lord and his followers are trying to prevent it.
ita, I hope your family is safe and the violence clears up quickly.
What is it with armed insurrections happening near our Buffistas and families?!?
And IcompletelylessworrisomeN, for Chicagoistas, the first family will be in town this weekend, so be prepared for major gridlock. He's heading out to Elwood on Memorial Day to visit the national cemetary out there, so steer clear of driving on I-55 south of the city.
Flight now delayed until 8:30.
Aww, frak, Dana. Will the airline at least put you up if the delay costs you your connecting flight?
