A bomb exploded in my neighborhood last night on a sidewalk I walk every morning with my wife and two sons. We’re all okay. The boys are oblivious, thankfully, but my wife and I are a little shook. I wanted to get down a couple thoughts...
Writer-who-draws Austin Kleon lives in a neighborhood where one of the Austin bomber's devices exploded. He shares a bit of the panic and anxiety he felt about his family, and where to find the best information in an emergency.

I also admire his taking of the long view; some information is always there, ready for the taking.
