Holy crap, Steph, that's incredible. I hope people can stay safe.

Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Well, that should keep everybody calm. @@
Seriously. Trying not to get caught by surprise is one thing, but this sounds like they are already making it worse.
Super scary.

WTF, Teppy? Oh, city.

Wow, that's pretty scary sounding. And certainly can't be helping matters any!! And I'd be a little afraid to leave my house in those circumstances--if all the houses are empty, less incentive for anyone to NOT bust in some windows?
Burrell, thanks! I think some of the problem is I am in a bad position of being not a super beginner, and not (yet?) really good at it. It's hard dance, and sometimes the more you know that you don't know...much like starting a job and not feeling overwhelmed until a few months in.
Annoying: the cream in my iced coffee this morning was bad. I only had one sip, then was watering the lawn, and then glanced at the glass and went "oh, that looks gross". Boo, don't want to have to leave the house for caffeine!!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
And now police are going door to door in the neighborhood where UC is located, advising residents to leave. WHAT THE HELL.
That probably includes where I lived. I wouldn't have had anywhere else to go at that point in time.

shrift, if there is anything you could use assistance with let me know.
Thanks! I... think I have things under control? But I could be deluding myself.
shrift, that couch is HUGE. Like, 40% larger than any couch I could fit in my living room. Your place must be big!
The living room is 211"x142". I was playing around with a room model last night, and while technically the 138" left-arm angled chaise would fit, it might be overwhelming.
I don't even know anymore. Furniture math appears to be beyond me right now.
And now police are going door to door in the neighborhood where UC is located, advising residents to leave. WHAT THE HELL.
Dear lord. This is bananapants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, are you in a position to say, "Since they're already working on the house, can I pay for the other windows?" even if it has to be on the installment basis? Because she'll get a better deal doing them all at once and having any windows that haven't been upgraded kind of negates the energy-efficiency aspects.
Oh, that would have been a good idea. But it's too late now, and I'm just letting it go. The not-being-done windows are the ones that are very close to the house next door, so it's not as bad as it could be.

Ann, that's a ferret.

The police may be worried that there'll be a riot no matter what the grand jury decides. In today's atmosphere, I wouldn't rule out the possibility.

That makes total sense. I wish you didn't feel that way, though!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm feeling extremely cynical today, and I can't help but think that the police wants there to be a riot, and is helping to incite one.
