I remember watching the riot unfold on TV. I was scared and I was living hundreds of miles from it. I can only imagine being in the middle of all that.Little GrumpyAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065581455480762162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823847273927280303.post-75585936918051602862008-08-26T18:03:00.000-06:002008-08-26T18:03:00.000-06:00I remember this time well.

Our SAT's were cancelled and we had to stay home. It gives it a whole different feeling when hearing about it from an eyewitness instead of a pundit. That vague discomfort we all felt, eyeing our neighbors slightly askance, was nothing compared to this.

I remember after school my long time crush asked if I wanted to go looting with some of his friends (apparently he didn't know me AT ALL). I remember having no respect (aside from that which I grant to all mankind) for him after that. <BR/><BR/>What a frightening tale from right in the middle of it! I'm from Burbank, where we felt fairly safe, fortunately. Sounds like you moved right next door!LisAwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299284773832500834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823847273927280303.post-76023354161000213222008-08-25T20:50:00.000-06:002008-08-25T20:50:00.000-06:00Hi lady,You've been awarded!

Not only because I don't think I have the emotional valor necessary, but because we already diminished our life's savings by moving to Harlem... we are stuck.brecksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949982512046372422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823847273927280303.post-28374975714463491042008-08-25T11:21:00.000-06:002008-08-25T11:21:00.000-06:00My reaction is the same as Brillig's...wow, hun. ...My reaction is the same as Brillig's...wow, hun.
