ramble through the bronx
yes, this here is ramble through the bronx, the continuing musings of a graduate student* who should be writing her dissertation, but honestly, living in new york city there's really so much else to do...* and her commenting friends. And guest blogger.

some gunshots
Last night, shortly after Richard & I got home from Lynchburg VA, we heard what were most likely about 10 gunshots (though the kids 'round my place have been setting off a bunch of firecrackers lately, so various guesses can be hazarded).
Anyway, poking around on the internet today, I found this site, documenting various crimes around the 48th precinct (which includes the Belmont neighbourhood where most of us Fordhamits live) -- note especially that "E 182nd" and "Belmont" are in bold, which means extra crime-tastic. Fun! (Remember I live at E 182 & Belmont)
Although this 2003 one is neat, for being 2 blocks away from my place, whilst I was living there:
"SATURDAY, FEB. 22nd, 10:27 p.m. - A member of the rap group, Wu Tang Clan, was apprehended and placed under arrest. Apparently the perpetrator was found to have been unlawfully impersonating a police officer. Items confiscated included a police shield, a pair of handcuffs, a fake gun and a dagger."
Huzzah.
one brief election note
...Olivia Chow should have won. Grr! Stupid Greens! (Not to berate anyone for voting their conscience, but come on... just look (scroll down for Olivia's bio) at how much she's done & how qualified she is!
