Oh fuck - 3 people shot at the Holocaust Museum:
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesus.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Damn. They're now saying it's two people seriously wounded - the gunman, and the security guard he shot. When he fired, the other security guards returned fire.
Crazy people. The world is a scary place to walk around in, lately.

People shouldn't be shot in museums. Libraries, maybe, and then only when the librarians are doing the shooting.
In half an hour I will be eating delicious barbecue.
But in the meantime, I'm sure you want an update on the baseball draft. Not the insider stuff, but just the coolest names that have rolled up. I offer you:
D’Vontrey Richardson
Tyson Van Winkle
Seth Schwindenhammer
...and the winner and new coolest name in baseball champ...
Damien Magnifico!
(seriously)
eta: a late addition and contender for the top spot...
Sequoyah Stonecipher

Ann, that's a ferret.
According to comments from Jessica's link (warning: avoid if more-heat-than-light arguments on anti-Semitism or gun control raise your blood pressure), the suspected shooter is an 89-year-old man with links to right-wing racism generally and anti-Semitism more specifically.
I spent a late lunch hour at the other end of the National Mall (near the National Gallery of Art, for those who know the area) and didn't know anything had happened until I saw Jessica's post.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Egad. That is both scary and angry-making.
wtf is wrong with people?
Seriously.
Aimee, I usually make my pancakes and waffles with at least 50% white whole wheat flour. It's whole wheat, just a softer, more tender grain, so you get the flavor and health benefits of whole wheat with the texture of regular white flour. Another option is to use whole wheat pastry flour. Any recipe that has you separate the eggs should be good.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Geez. I don't think my dad had a DC trip this week, but if he did he'd be directly across the street from the museum.

Hec, those are awesome names! Maybe I'll re-name my new cat Damien Magnifico.

That would be an awesome cat name.
I'm partial to Stonecipher though. It conjures up images of Flintstone spy movies, like...A Man Named Flintstone.
