In Greece there are little roadside shrines to mark accidents. They are pretty clearly religious, and are tended for many many years.

In correspondence news, this came in the mail just now:

Hi ocl Mike and ent Fede and Badae Evlen. I am trning. 6. love Ryan.

How much do I adore my super fantasic nephew, even if he is fishing for presents?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aerosoles newsflash: these, in black look like perfect skirt shoes, even if I can't wear the heel. These look very nice and standard too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I think he was supposed to be having a regression due to trauma last week, thus all the hunching and whatnot. He was more realxed even in the opening scenes, until the big robbery.

The status is NOT quo.

I read these together and got really confused for a second.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm watching Real Genius. The litle kid in it looks startlingly like Sarah Jessica Parker. Why didn't Val Kilmer do more comedy? This also reminds me that Spartan was pretty good, too.

Also, this site is appearing in Time Roman and without pictures. Why is that?

What is even happening?

Do you build a memorial at the bottom of the basement stairs that little Bobby fell down and broke his neck on? To me it's too much like "I want to share my grief with the entire world!"
That's how it's struck me, in the past.
I think it's unquestionably sharing -- but sharing that, in Brenda's example, is people reaching out to each other in shock and grief -- over someone they didn't even know.
What's wrong with sharing grief? When did that become bad?
As soon as you cross the border into one of the six New England states, maybe.
I figured the people who were gaining from the shared memorials were gaining more than I, who doesn't really care, was losing. So it doesn't bother me much. Reminds me a bit to be careful too.

The occasional cross or whatever on the highway doesn't really ping me, except in a be-careful way. But the street (as opposed to highway) kind of memorial seems to turn into mini-shrine. There are pictures, balloons, teddy bears, notes, dead flowers (nobody goes back and removes the flowers, it seems).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Also, this site is appearing in Time Roman and without pictures. Why is that?

That happens to me occasionally when I'm using BitTorrent, which sucks up all sorts of resources (buffers and such) that my browser and email programs would normally use.

I restarted and it went away. Hmm.
