i left town on the same day that twin bomb blasts killed about 20. less than 24 hours before the blasts, i was maybe 2 blocks from where one of the explosions took place. nobody i know of was hurt or killed in the blasts, which is some kind of solace but it is terribly disconcerting to know that a city that has stood for integration and harmony between so many religions is now under attack in an attempt to disrupt this harmony.
more thoughts on this after i get back.

Holy crap, aif! I am glad that no one you knew was hurt, but this has to be very upsetting.
aif- you seem to be going through some very serious stuff. Be kind to yourself. I hope you find some peace.
Jeez, man, I am glad you weren’t hurt but damn this shit has got to stop.
aif, sorry to hear about all this stuff you’re going through. That had to be really scary. Keep your chin up.
Holy smokes, aif! Very glad to hear you’re okay. Be safe.
thinking of you and hoping you are doing ok.
