...journal, but I doubt anyone was planning on closing early today, either. Or curfews, or a non-stop public assault on press freedom by our own police, or possibly martial law... who knows, at this point? :| The real point is that history is happening right outside, and that is more important than my otherwise standing embargo on new deviations, and people have a right to know, as only an informed populace can have an informed opinion about anything.
