Riot Destress
Dec. 8th, 2014 05:23 pmI've found the constant rioting surrounding our house — the constant hum of helicopters and shrill of police sirens, the occasional smashing of glass or whiff of tear gas — to be very disturbing, stressful,and depressing these last two nights. It's kept me from getting much done either Saturday or Sunday evening.
Tonight, the helicopters started up again at about 4.50pm because the rioters declared another riot starting at 5pm (and another for tomorrow, where they're promising to evict our lawfully elected mayor from office). But tonight I'm going to do my best to avoid Berkeleyside and Twitter, and to just let it all roll off me, and presume that the rioters will stay off our street because all the good swag is on Telegraph and Shattuck.
