Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Boy, what the fuck a thing to wake up to. I turned on the Today Show, and they had a live report from a guy who was prostrate on the ground, after the cops told them all to get down, get down!
This is surreal.

Holy shit.
I don't have anything much to add, just. Holy shit. I just want this to be over, with everyone safe and the suspect in custody.
I have so many people in Boston: friends, relatives, Buffistas, former classmates, M's friends, way too many people to check on individually, but Jesus, I wish I could. This is fucking terrifying.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
God, I have to go get dressed and get to work, but I don't want to leave the computer. While I'm here, even if I'm just reading and not posting, I feel like I'm still *with* you, but if I get up and go, even for the few minutes it'll take to get up and out and log in at work, I'm turning my back on everyone and some new bad thing will happen while my back is turned.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Warning for DC-istas: If you don't absolutely have to be in Montgomery Village in MD, don't go there. Apparently the suspects have relatives there. There is no reason to believe that the relatives were involved in any way, but there appears to be a lot of activity as authorities (and media) talk to the relatives and neighbors of the relatives.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I went to bed at midnight and had an early doctor's appointment so I am just now catching up with the news. I'm really glad we don't have cable at the moment.
Be safe Boston.
msbelle, I am so happy to hear about the job!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Yikes, Boston!
Stay safe, everyone. I'm so sad that there have been more deaths in capturing these guys.
OK, not going to the office today: I'm going to take the dog running in the woods.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Actually, most DCistas may want to just stay home anyway. Metro (bless their hearts ... assuming they have them) is doing track work on every single line. AND we have the IMF/World Bank meeting, so a big area of town near Foggy Bottom will be closed off.
