I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I just read that, Ginger. It's almost incomprehensible.

It's hard to believe that one shooter could do so much.

Because books.

Has it been reported what his motive was? Or what he protesting?

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

smonster I no doubt have more STUFF than most, so there is easy pickings for me to part with. A second part-time job would help a lot, but no way I could do that without working weekends and that doesn't work with mac.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

No Corb Lund for us tonight. Ended up babysitting the dojo kids for a few hours. It is amazing how much energy an almost 3 year old and a 6 month old have. Am tuckered now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I may need to soother myself with another creamsicle.

Hey, learning how to self-soothe is an important life skill!

We pay our private insurance too. It costs a lot. For barely any coverage. But I think it would be worse for us to do it through the company, because then we would have to pay for it for other employees if we ever had any other employees. Which we don't. And not that we could get group rates anyway. But still.

We actually ended up with our current coverage through this awesome company that does insurance for musicians, and got what was basically a group rate, for independent musicians. They also cover our gear, which is a huge deal because there really aren't any policies that cover it adequately. I mean, homeowners will cover it at the house, and auto will sometimes cover it in the car, but what if it's at the venue? Which is where it's most vulnerable. Or in transit other ways, or at the rehearsal space, or, or, or. It's so great to have a real policy that covers it wherever, whenever, for the risks it actually faces. Which reminds me, I need to update my inventory list with them.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

No Corb Lund for us tonight.

Aw. Too bad.

The suspect is a native Norwegian, and the targets imply some kind of internal political motive.

Remind me again not to read the comments. They're saying things like "80 percent of terrorism is Muslim." Timothy McVeigh. Eric Robert Rudolph. Chechen militants. Basque separatists. IRA. PLO. Tamil Tigers. State-sponsored terrorism. Crazy people throughout the world.
