  • Sad today - a neighbor of mine had a heart attack last night, and while I don't have confirmation on this, I'm pretty sure given the activities by paramedics when they took her to the hospital that she was declared dead at the scene (no sirens, tubed but not bagged/no CPR ongoing, etc). They are great neighbors, an older couple always checking on us to make sure we're OK, and I'm so sad for her husband today.
