Good to hear from our Bostonistas. But God almighty. This is horrible.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm safe here at home in Somerville, and rather heartsick.
At least with the explosions so near the finish line, there were plenty of experienced medical people in running distance. And one of the best trauma centers in America is less than a mile from there.
Just heartsick, truly.
Unfortunately, it seems that mid-April brings out the "patriotic" crazies every couple of years.

Thrive to spite them
Just heard on New England News that Boston Police are confirming that they were bombs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh my god, Jesse, really? Yikes.
Yeah, I was right there. But am now safely on the other side of the river!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
BREAKING: Small homemade bomb is preliminary cause of explosion at Boston Marathon, law enforcement officials tell...
Fox News reports Massachusetts General Hospital treating 10 people with amputated limbs
I've seen one report indicating that there might have been shrapnel (ball bearings) in the bomb, which would account for the loss of limb. Sounds purposefully designed as an anti-personnel bomb to maim and kill.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
MSNBC says Boston PD confirmed 2 dead.
That is a lot of blood. Horrible.
