Mocked up live designs for the "Information For" rightnav on the home page. This evening at home we heard two gunshots right outside our window. Pop! Pop! One right after the other. I had been in bed, very tired after getting home. Patrick was scared to look out the window. It reminded me of the night a few months ago that a man was beaten by a group of young men outside the McDonald's around the corner from our place. We hadn't seen it ourselves, but our neighbor Amy did and rushed home to call the police. Tonight is the first time I can recall gunshots, however. And although I can imagine some jaded lived-here-longer-than-you San Franciscans thinking that we're lucky to have gone 3 months with no gunshots outside our home, I have higher expectations for the city I choose to live in. We huddled in bed for 30 minutes afterward wishing our fears away.
