I know two of the people killed in yesterday's Metro crash. I had supper with them last week and just saw the fellow two nights ago. Worked with the wife on a big project late last year.
Holy shit, bonnie, that's terrible news.

Thanks Sophia. I have such a different view of death than most people but the shock is really making me want to cry. There is no meritocracy in loss, but these really were some lovely people.
A client's 20 year old daughter is dying as well. I'm trying to help the da, but there simply aren't words.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh god, Bonny, that's awful.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
That's so horrible, bonnie.
WMATA is such a clusterfuck. They've had accidents like this in the past, and they never did anything to fix their cars so that they would crumble and absorb the shock in a collision.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That is a shock, bonnie. I'm so sorry.

Sorry Bonnie. Always hard to lose a friend to a tragedy like this.

“Not dead yet!”
Jesus, bonny, I'm so sorry.

See, what happened is that at a Beatles performance in 1960, girls screamed and rushed the stage. This had never happened before, but it always happened after this.
Women rushed the stage for Liszt, not to mention Sinatra and Elvis.
I'm sorry, Bonny.
