Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm trying to listen to the live coverage, but it is very confused. How awful for everyone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I googled - it wasn't Ruby Ridge. For some reason I seem to recall that in addition to Waco and the Oklahoma City bombing, something else happened on this day.

Oklahoma City was April 19, not today.

Well, Battle of Lexington and Concord. Though I doubt that's what you're thinking of.

Columbine was April 20. (Also, Hitler's birthday.)

Huh. April 20 was also the ATF raid on The Covenant, The Sword, and The Arm of the Lord. Which I'd never heard of until I just looked it up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oklahoma City was April 19, not today.

Well, Patriot's Day should be 4/19, but it's observed on the 3rd Monday, so.

What is even happening?

When was the first attack on the WTC?
