In January 2008, a 10 year old child at a piano lesson at an elite piano store was partially paralyzed from a stray bullet, less than a quarter mile from my home here.

A couple years ago there was a home invasion followed by gunshots less than a block from my home on a very nice street in wealthy Piedmont; at 6:30AM.

After that, the streets were blocked for a suicide-by-gun in a van, two blocks away in Oakland (rumored to be a cop; the press completely buried the story for police "privacy"-- I was told by an Oakland firefighter.)

When I hear bangs I think about heading for the metal bathtub. Wonderful. I am listening for ricochets and other sounds of danger.

Obama's speech is B+ so far. He is crying for real. Now I raise it to an A.
