I was going through the old card catalog at the Pennsylvania Historical Society and found cigarette butts. I hope they were out when they were stashed.

I just found out tonight that my neighbor's aunt was one of the surviving first grade teachers at Sandy Hook who hid her kids. My god.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

The LA stuff is really freaky. I have more than one friend who thinks that the guy is absolutely telling the truth and the only thing the LAPD cares about is killing him.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Fingers crossed, Sue.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, Sue! Good luck with actually getting off the ground and out of the country this time.

Good luck, Scrappy! Good luck with having them recognize your awesomeness.

That LA stuff is really scary.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

but the police are not helping me feel like there's a safe resolution in the works.

Oh, there is really not. This is going to end really badly. For everyone.

msbelle, I tend to not believe those kinds of stories but I have to say, I don't really think we'll ever know the truth and I wouldn't be surprised if the truth were, at the very least, somewhere in the middle. This feels way too personal on both sides.

On a totally shallow note, who ever is doing this press conference is in just perfect light. Movies do not look this good.

msbelle,

I think Dorner is telling some truth, but his manifesto (and I have not read it all) is not the work of a 100% with it human being. So I bet he had legitimate beef, but (if what he is accused of doing is true), you don't deal with employment beef by killing folk.

I hope the LAPD starts considering how they monitor ex-employees whether such employees get appropriate care post-firing. If he hadn't felt his life was over, maybe he wouldn't have used the nuclear option on his way out.

Going after people's kids never puts you on the right side of anything.

Right. And yet there are people out there making t-shirts and posters in support of him. Argh.

ION, I'm about done with being a breeding-age female. Argh, in fact.

And no news from HR. But hey, next week I'm taking a day and a half off to go skiing in Colorado! Yay!
