out of touch

I just found out about the second set of bombings against London.

The only news I listen to is NPR, and that tends to be when I am getting ready for and when I am at work. I am so disconnected otherwise.

This is so sad, so terrible. It is so hard to stomach that something like this could happen in the same place so soon.

Honestly, living in a city of this size, I am aware of the difficulties in keeping it secure. There are a million and one ways every day that something bad could happen. I don't want to think about being in danger. I don't want to imagine I am at threat.

So I won't. But I will keep my eyes open. If you see something, say something.
