almost nothing to say....

that is not about the protests in Baltimore. Really ugly stories about racism from the police. But just the idea that this neighborhood (and a few others in Baltimore) has been allowed to remain in this situation is what is really repugnant. I have always seen Baltimore communities as being vital and friendly to all, but the insulation or ability to desensitize seems to have dominated. Hopefully the intellectual community at Hopkins will step up and try to make some sort of contribution into the area. They could send volunteer students to help the children of the area with their basic skills. I don't
believe the problem is unsolvable but input is so very necessary,
Not much else to report. Had decent time at bar next to Harlem Public last night, but simply watched the games, would have liked to go to South Fourth to visit Merlin, but simply too tired. Was tired as I returned home, then awoke at 3, full of energy, took another two hours to calm down.
Must continue my 'activism" (or course I have not done anything yet) and try to solve this problem.
