SORRY

Blogger was down today for a long, long time. Here’s our new batch of letters – from a member of Opus Dei, among others. Enjoy. Oh, and to all those of you who had trouble reading some of the purple links against the blue background, we heard ya. The new links are cool, huh? And, er, visible.

NOISE IN THE HOOD: Busy day on my block. At 5am today, a young Latino guy was shot dead down the street having parked in front of my building. He was brandishing a big toy gun, apparently. I slept through it. Then a little later, the driver of a big Cadillac swerved onto my street, saw the police lines, tried to reverse out of the block, hit the accelerator by mistake and took out my next door neighbor’s wrought iron fence, a gas main, and landed in a tree trunk. I slept through that as well. I guess I’ll hear about a dirty bomb from the news.
