Too many cops, too many guns
I am fine and
derspatchel is fine. Being exhausted after separately and mutually stressful days, we went to bed around one in the morning after being off the internet for about an hour previous; so I woke a little after ten o'clock and checked my e-mail on the way back from the bathroom and saw the message from my mother about the police lockdown of Boston, after which Rob read me a lot off Universal Hub and we have concluded the level of unreality in the current situation is unreal. At the moment we are in bed with our laptops. We could have spent the day this way without any special reason, thank you.

I posted so people wouldn't have to ask. We're in Somerville, which, despite bordering with Cambridge to the degree that the portmanteau "Camberville" not only exists, but has even been used unironically, is not officially part of the lockdown, although residents have been advised to stay indoors and businesses ditto closed. We might be able to hear the controlled detonation later this afternoon, but at this point in time we are more than one town over from the main locus of the action, Watertown. Thank you for wanting to be sure.
