It&#8217;s only a mile or so away, probably even closer as the crow flies. Tonight there must be quite a display because an intermittent fussilade has been going off for the better part of an hour. Usually it doesn&#8217;t bother me. I&#8217;ve been living here so long (16 years) I basically tune it out. But tonight it feels nerve-wracking. I listen to the pop-pop-pop and think of London and Sharm el-Sheik. We live in a very small world with carnage everywhere. Who knows when it will be here again?]]>Fri, 22 Jul 2005 22:45:15 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L. Simon]]>https://pjmedia.com/roger-l-simon/2005/07/22/listening-to-the-hollywood-bowl-n208955
