What was the deal in Orinda? Lots of police..
People are officially losing their minds. Must be the weather.
Not a good start for the week for us in 24/680 neighborhood. Hope assailant is identified and apprehended soon,
People are losing their minds. There’s always been crime, but if this Covid lockdown doesn’t end soon. The abnormal lifestyle has gone on long enough.
Interesting… we were just saying to another reader that people seem to be at the end of their tether lately…
It’s funny, and very sad, but we’ve been noticing the same …. that people really are on edge lately! It’s as if the climax of something is coming soon… Ie, big earthquake, etc. The only respite- thank God- was church on Sunday where everyone was really mellow & happy.
Mellow and Happy sounds good. We roll that way…
Two transients mebbe drinking in the park? They argue and one hits the other with whatever’s handy. Is that about it?
Possible.
There seem to be more transients in the area lately. Some are no problem and are actually pretty nice – some are trouble. Sorry but there it is.
