Also, most of the nation is right now "threatened" with some real ugly winter weather. I suggest you wait at least until this particular storm system has passed. (Hoping we do not lose power or not for long.)

Not worried for me; I live (not by choice, either) in what seems to be a very privileged area. The thugs have been through here, but not very close by. Troubling is only witnessing all of it best I can and wishing always for more understanding and clarity.

If I did not already live here I would not come here. Not advice but what I imagine for myself if I were in that situation. If you do come, what Hyphen said plus stay very alert. And keep your head down. ❤️
