But a war that should be over by Monday, I've been assured.
I just talked to my American friend who lives in Zarif, an area close to Hamra, Basta, Corniche al Mazraa--all the places they're naming on the news.
There has been shooting and RPGs on her street literally all night, since Nasrallah's speech ended at 6 yesterday. They didn't sleep. She said it ended an hour ago.
They're securing the area. But they isn't the Lebanese Army. It's Hezbollah and Amal and they're putting up little yellow flags everywhere.
She said they're very nice. They went down and talked to them to find out what was going on.
I just went to my local gym and passed through the major square. It seems that most of the vans are running; pretty much all the shops are open. It's like everything is normal.

wtf! so when are you coming home? i hope you don't plan to hang out there again while all this shit gets bad again. but knowing you, you will.
i love you ,freak show.
It's good to know you're okay and back blogging, Jane.
Your commentary about how you and the Lebanese people continue to function under today's conditions is extremely interesting, and
you deserve a ton of respect for what you're doing to assist.
I'm glad, for all your sakes, that the Hezbollah are perceived to be "very nice." With this in mind, and until the situation stabilizes, I'll hold off offering a "fair and balanced" response to your subsequent anti U.S./Israel commentary.
Stay well and safe, Jane.
Best regards,
Wally Hubbard
