Currently living the boring version of Rear Window

“There’s only two people out on their balcony in the whole building across from us.”
“What about the guy in the black t-shirt sitting behind that white dog?”
“What dog?”
“OK, you see the two red chairs? One floor below and two to the left.”
“Oh there’s the dog. Where’s the guy?”
“He’s sitting at a table. I think he’s having a drink.”
“I still can’t see him.”
“Maybe you’re looking at a different dog?”

The boring version is the best one in which to live!

It does have less murder, yes.

(On a sombre note, I may attend a protest tomorrow over the death of Regis Korchinski-Paquet; I feel I ought to if I can, and I have reasonable faith in the abilities of the organizers and attendees to stay six feet apart and wear masks. The question is whether I can allay Andrew’s fears about my going).

Who's that? We've been consumed by protests here over the death of George Floyd.

A young woman who died falling from a balcony under deeply suspicious, police-involved circumstances. See: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/regis-paquet-balcony-toronto-1.5588318

Doesn’t look like I’m going to be able to leave Andrew alone today, except maybe for a brief grocery-shopping expedition, so I guess I’ll have to salve my conscience with having emailed the mayor’s office.

It's probably okay if the dog survives in this version.

We should do a meme like that, I feel -- looking out of our front windows is occasionally mildly amusing.

...how the mighty have fallen, indeed.
