You know how sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night and there are sirens and flashing lights outside and you have trouble getting back to sleep?

That's precisely why I just don't go to sleep, ever.

I guess that's why they pay you the big bucks.

Those were not sirens and flashing lights. You did not witness any incidents. Those were a figment of your imagination. You are not living in a police state. There is nothing to worry about. You are fine. America is strong. You are not living in a police state. Everything is fine. Go back to sleep. Failure to sleep is a violation of the USA Patriot Act of 2001. You are fine. America is strong.

Good old Stephen Colbert. I miss Strangers with Candy.

Is that like when you wake up in the middle of the night and find aliens with big heads and lidless black eyes performing inhuman experiments on you?

Those sometimes have flashing lights, too.

You'd think if they're going to come all the way from some faraway planet to visit us they could adopt local customs and perform regular old human experiments.

last week i went outside to smoke a cigarette and see what all the lights were about at 2 am, and the building across the street from me was surrounded by cops wielding shotguns. never did figure out what it was about, though.

They were practicing for last night's raid across from Erik's place. Which itself is a practice for (I think) next Thursday's raid in front of AE's place.

I'm not completely sure, though. I lost the schedule.
