...except it's a "crisis day." Has all the ingredients of a snow day in North Carolina:
-restricted to the house
-people gathering at each other's homes
-bad stuff happening out on the streets because of stupid people
-lots of tea drinking
-no outdoor activities
oh, but take away the cold, add a few dozen gunshots every 1/2 hour and the stench of burning buildings in the air.
BUT, we have a good crew of people who've banded together (yes, my sister is with me) and we're staying in good spirits, turning a trauma into a party.
The city's on a lock-down for the next 24 hrs (till Sunday morning @ 8am) as tensions, violence, and instability are very prevalent. I am safe and grateful for a walled compound with faithful guards.
