Labor Day! Is over! Lots of people had to labor today even though it was supposedly a holiday. The police and attendant cohorts were here in the complex until around 2 in the morning. They were doing whatever they do when someone dies and is discovered later. The man who passed away died 2 to 4 days before he was discovered. He was starting to smell. I slept only a few feet from his body for one or two nights. He was on the floor in his bedroom which shares a wall with my bedroom.

A few minutes after the police were notified there was a series of tweets announcing the police call. Within a few hours, the tweets triggered a news bulletin that appeared online. Weird! There are ghouls who monitor the police bands and send out tweets as events unfold. It was a shock to see the online news story while the cops were still working the scene.

I dreamed the night before that I was working with a team of people on some kind of network database application. It was a detailed dream and involved many people I once knew. I dreamed last night but don't recall the details.

It turned hot again today. It's supposed to cool down in the coming week, starting tomorrow. Have a PD dance class tomorrow.

Watched a Jean-Pierre Melville film tonight--Le Doulos--The Informant. It was a tense drama about some criminals, intricate plots, and surprises. The other film of his that I saw recently was The Red Circle. Will locate more of his films--they are worth seeing. In his films, there is much more going on beyond the story line and action. I listened to some of the commentary that was supplied on the DVD and it was revelatory.
