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.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

Shooting people in the Holocaust museum seems extra special wrong.

Reading comments is too dangerous for me. I'd just going to guess, republicans fan anti-Semitism, liberals fan anti-Semitism and Obama is a Muslim, kneejerk reaction to ban guns, and kneejerk reaction to have more guns.

I met someone named Stonecipher once. Not really met - a phone contact. Neat guy, cool name. Had no idea what his name meant.

Don't get my DH started. He has a whole rant on the subject.

Wow. It's like you're psychic.

Me too!

I have lots of rants. I believe that one is #9.

It's probably similar Zenkitty, unless your rant is that it needs to be done more.

And congratulations, Allyson! It's a good blog. I love your writing.
