France is easier to get to.
So aweful!
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Pure speculation, but the attacks could have been planned to happen during the World Climate Summit and bumped up after the Jihadi John news. Who knows?
I found some good news out of my undergrad. [link] I have a tremendous amount of respect for her.

Doesn't France have a fairly restrictive policy about allowing Muslim refugees to immigrate? If so, that may have been a factor.
I had planned to make it a Magic Mike kind of night, but I've been dealing with various gastrointestinal upset all day and am currently enjoying moderate heartburn, so volcano fajitas, dancing, and loud noise are right out. I'll show my support for the place another night when my stomach is up to it.

Uggghhhhh. A FB friend is posting hate on the Syrian refuges. I can't even. I think I'll be on an unfollowing spree over the next few days.

God, the Paris news is so awful.

I saw a great quote on Twitter: the people who caused this horror are the ones the Syrian refugees are running away from.

That is what I posted on FB that sparked the response. Her husband posted, deleted, posted, deleted, and then the wife posted. The first post was pure hate, the second slightly less hate, and the wife's post still has me too mad to respond. I know this family fairly well and they have gotten more and more conservative over the last few years.

Oh, that's awful, Suzi. Argh.
I can't bring myself to read much about this. It's too horrible.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ugh. My boss's daughter is living and working in Paris.
I think I won't text my boss, and just wait 'til Monday to see if she's ok.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The news from Paris is horrible. No words.
I'm going to a baby shower for a friend this afternoon.
