Fear in the Beach

LOTS of police activity in the neighbourhood tonight...

Three police choppers overhead as I walked home down our quiet little one-way street. Two circling, one stationary -- with the search light fixed on something to the south.

I could see the lights of what looked like at least a half dozen police cruisers at the foot of our road.

Sausage got back from her playschool meeting with rumours of a bomb scare or something of the sort at Balmy Beach School (just down the road). Several block strip along Kingston Road cordoned off; people being escorted to their homes by cops in full scary bastard gear.

Oh – and the helicopter searchlight was apparently fixed on the little florists’ shop right at the corner of our street.

Holy crap.

No idea what that was, but it was a little too close for comfort.
