I don't think "Festival of Lights" was supposed to mean the ones on top of emergency vehicles, no matter how pretty they are.

More excitement in my neighbourhood again tonight. Had a completely different entry in my head during the drive home from rehearsal, but got a bit distracted when I saw flashing lights (mostly police this time) right about where I wanted to turn onto my street. There's a yellow "police line do not cross" tape strung clear across Fulton Ave., so anyone who didn't want to turn onto Lombard where I wanted to had to anyhow. Several police cruisers, a few unmarked police cars, and an ambulance, uniformed and plainclothes officers walking around, a television van (with the great big telescoping antenna) pulled up just after I parked, but apparently decided either that there weren't any compelling visuals to shoot or that at 23:30, five minutes before the end of the late news broadcast, it wasn't worth starting to report, 'cause they pulled away again a few minutes later.

Clumps of people on streetcorners, watching in the light rain. I asked whether anyone knew what had happened, and the folks near me had no clue. The police looked kind of busy.

If anyone hears what happened tonight in the unit block of S. Fulton in Baltimore, I'm kind of curious.
