I got jacked in Brooklyn 23 years ago to this day. Friday the 13th, October 2000.

Yes, it was Friday the 13th. Yes, it was a full moon. Will it be a full moon tonight? Not sure. October 13, 2000 was the only day I got jacked in New York City during the 18 years I lived there. So I decided not to do anything differently today, but I would be lying if I said I was not scared. I am just waiting for some crap to occur. I was walking across a school parking lot — the big public school near the Pfizer factory. Near Woodhull Hospital. Near the housing projects where Jay Z grew up. Near the JZM subway trains. I was walking home with some groceries. I was a teacher. I had had a tough week. I wanted to go home and cook something. Relax for awhile. <a href="https://danielgauss31.medium.com/i-got-jacked-in-brooklyn-23-years-ago-to-this-day-friday-the-13th-october-2000-926a655cc0f8">Learn More</a>
