    Last year this happened, and i was just so confused at what the heck was happening.

    what i heard today: today is 9/18. today, planes will be passing over the city sounding an alarm rehearsal as per history’s bombing incident on this day. please stay in-doors if possible.

    I just got a message from a friend about this… this is nuts! I can hear it all the way south in the software park. Air raid sirens.

    And this is still valid today:

    “Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.”

    Arthur Schopenhauer

    Heard this downtown too, timed nicely with the throngs of angry Japan bashers. Go team China!
