Say hello to your new spokesperson: “We dress like students, we dress like housewives, or in a suit and a tie. I’ve changed my hair color, so many times now, I don’t know what I look like. Hi I’m David Byrne for Clairol.”

That was actually something I thought about yesterday a lot. They released the police scanner traffic audio about part way through the day, and I listened to it because it calms me. For some reason, listening to highly trained people remaining calm and performing their jobs in the midst of a horrible and chaotic…
