Stranger Danger

c9I am either cracking up or truly losing any weak connection I had with this city or something. I spent most of last night dreaming, as near as I can tell, but all the dreams were nightmarish -- as in, not quite nightmares, but trying. I dreamed about people shooting at me, getting attacked, being scared, locking doors, etc etc. I know exactly where it's all coming from, and I don't like it.
- there was a rumour of a murder in our neighbourhood
- this morning a small bag of human flesh was found one block from our place
- Wednesday night our good friend in Halifax was attacked, beaten, and has spent the last day in surgery (he's out, in recovery, and doing well)
- New Orleans has descended into Dark Knight Returns-style anarchy. People are shooting at helicopters that are trying to evacuate people. People are shooting at ambulances. I cannot find the words to describe the horror of what's going on. Sadly, I can imagine where it's going.
The combination of this crime and disaster makes me feel less safe here, and less safe in Halifax (where I always felt safe). It makes me wonder what we'll do when the energy crisis really hits and things go all to shit. We live very close to a farmer's market now (good), but we don't like this neighbourhood. Maybe we'll need to move a little further away, but still keep work and market walkable.
I'd feel much better if it were just the clowns trying to eat me instead of real scary things.
