Well, this is great. Ordinary constructive citizens having to wait nervously for the police to defuse a bomb sent by one of the Lord of Misrule’s more excitable minions. This is just great. People can’t even go get some lunch because of this bullshit. Can’t walk on the street without some wingnut trying to blow you up. #MAGA

Does 8 blocks south count as “near”? Asking for a self.

Near enough. Anywhere is near, really. My sister and I have plans to take old Dad up to go on the Circle Line like we promised him. Makes you think. Getting cold for a swim.
