Walking home (in the Upper East Side) last night, I was on the phone with my sister, and saw a lot of firemen trucks, ambulances, police cars, and news vans.

sister on the phone-what’s all that noise?

me-firemen, police, etc.

sister on the phone-What’s happening????

me-Not sure, but there’s news vans here so I’ll see it on tv when I get home.

—Jaded? No. there is WAY TOO MUCH happening here all the time. it’s self defense.
