Columbia dies
We were in the car with Betsy headed west to Charlottesville when we heard the news, listened to one round of talking heads and first news in (the explosion had just happened) and pointedly turned the radio off.

The families are in a hard place and I feel great sorrow for their loss, but listening to commentators repeat already known news is NOT helpful. It doesn't make me feel participatory in any national or world healing or coping or grief any more than a broken record might. I am sad. That is all.
