What is Patriot's Day? This sounds like something you made up!
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Because books.
It feels very strange to *hope* it was an accident, like a gas main explosion, but I really do.

It's a Boston holiday/tradition. We were talking about it upthread.

Ay yi yi. At least there will have been lots of first responders at the scene.
While I was typing the Boston Marathon statement said two bombs. So no gas main, I think.

Boston Marathon officials have called the explosions as being from bombs. Though who knows what information they have.

Hec, I didn't take that seriously. I thought y'all were funning people on the West Coast.
Apparently the race - or some part of it - was dedicated to the Newtown families. Many of whom were standing at the finish line.
