India Palace, off the Santa Fe Plaza, was destroyed in a hate crime yesterday. Although I’ve seen “small” hate crimes here, I have never experienced this before, in 35 years.
I’m taking a few days off from the blog. Frankly, I’m not even sure how to respond to the world right now. Hopefully will be back by July 1 at the latest.

Oh, no. I hadn’t seen this. I’m so sad and sorry this happened. May your well deserved break serve you well, Mir.
I am with you on this, Miriam. Prayers–of all kinds—for healing for us all right now.
Oh, Miriam, this is so awful. Just the thought that I have had some exchange with this person— maybe buying something, saying hello in the street or at the neighboring gas pump— fills me with fear and disgust. Who are these people? Are they people?
Yes. Take a break. I have my July 1 blog coming up…I have so much to say and nothing to say… Love you dearie. Please don’t take a break from smoking in the bathroom on Friday. Lucy

Lucy! I need to talk about this more. With you and the smoking in the bathroom cadre.
