ARGH

Sometime today the power went out, and when I got home from class what do I find but a computer that won't boot up. It wasn't even turned on today! I definitely turned it off last night. Stupid fricking thing. I'm now on my laptop which I pulled out for the first time in oh probably three years at least.

Also, this morning when I left there were at least 8 police cars in the parking lot next to me...I didn't see them until I was driving away, but I wondered what was going on to require so many. I figured it's Sunnyvale and they probably have nothing better to do, maybe a domestic dispute or something. But lo, I get home tonight with a notice on my door that there's been a "tragic death" in our apartment complex that is under investigation! So now I'm wondering just what the hell happened...there were never any sirens or anything, which is why I didn't even know the police were here until I actually saw them. O_o

About the siren thing...it could have been that whoever called asked for a silent approach. We've done it multiple times for my dad's heart attacks or my grandmother's broken hip. Having them arrive in the middle of the night in full blast wouldn't be appreciated by the neighbors and it only adds to the stress really.
Or it could have also been that the "tragic death" had already occurred when the call was made, and while you need investigators, you don't need them in lights-and-sirens mode.
