Sorry to disappoint you, Reverend Snort, but no Armageddon today. This neighborhood has been pretty quiet so far and people have been going quietly about their regular business.

The nearest thing to a food riot was the disappointment of the four-year-old who lives across the hall from us when she discovered that they were out of Froot-Loops and her mother had forgotten to buy more. Had to make do with Grape Nut Flakes.

Too bad.

So sad!
