"The facility, called a Soldier Rating and Processing center, handles administrative details for soldiers."
That's not a good sign.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, no. How awful.
CNN has a bit more detail, but no information on who did it or why, just that it was two people (eta: they just updated from "two people" to "two people in military uniforms"--shit and damn) and one is still at large.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, man, the questions. That's horrific.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So many contradictory reports. Some sources are saying that one of the gunmen is dead. Others say that one is in custody, the other is at large.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man.

The Twitter feed of a local Texas newspaper seems to be the best source of information right now.

Today has kicked my ass, and it isn't done yet. I have not managed to call back the plumber to schedule a visit. I ate lunch in a meeting where I was speaking at 3 because it was the first chance I had. I have a dentist appt at 6. God only knows when I'll get home & get to the pool, but goddamned I need it tonight.
