I ran into a neighbor and said, “Well, here comes another night.” Which apparently wasn’t the lighthearted small talk I meant it to be because she started sobbing. Is this all overkill? I really hope so. But nerves are seriously frayed here and the helicopters never stop, and the freeways are closed, and curfew is in three minutes.

Fuck, stay safe guys.
