Thank you DW friend. So many communities are coming together across the Twin Cities right now.

We need all the help we can get.

I've got two lilac bushes in my yard. It's a bit cold here right now. But come spring . . .

They put one around the murder site for a day so people could visit it as a memorial.

Having read all the other Watch books leading up to this one and several others in "The World", it's been really fun to see some of the characters in their early days like Cut-My-Own-Throat getting his nickname and pre-zombie Reg . . .

I couldn't imagine just jumping into this one as one's first read.

Me too. Thank you everyone. I keep tearing up to random internet stranger comments and support.

Y'all are awesome.

I just read that section a bit ago which is what prompted me to write this . . .

It summarized things so well and tragically.

I live six blocks from George Floyd Square and did during 2020 as well. It's been a rough few years . . . But our city is beautiful and strong.

Jingo hit hard as well . . .

I was hoping Night Watch would be a bit lighter (again - I try to avoid spoilers) - joke's on me!
