Although I hope the entire clown show blows up in their face, I mean it metaphorically, not literally.
I pray for all DU and non-DU friends and family to stay safe. I pray it's only a circus, but things can get crazy fast. I lived through Chicago in 1968 (OK, I was only 3 but I remember my parents worrying about it).
Prayers and hugs

And beware of those ninja-looking bike cops. Did anyone see those dudes yesterday (Sun.)
