So it's a crappy picture, but this is the kind of entertainment we get here in south central. Yes, that's a helicoptor with a spotlight. Yes, it's LAPD. We think it was breaking up some type of party, because it kept circling a house on the next block. While the helicoptor was circling, a limo pulled in to (most likely) pick someone up.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
