Virginia Tech Massacre
Unimaginable. Twenty-two dead, including the shooter. This was “the deadliest campus shooting in US history”. Please send prayers and good thoughts.
UPDATE: AP now puts the death toll at 31.
SECOND UPDATE: It’s now 33.

My daughter’s best friend has been in VA all week, viewing college campuses, including her favorite, Va Tech. She still wants to go, according to her mom. She said they were the friendliest of the Va schools she visited.
I’m thinking a gap year sounds good right now.

KathyF, that gives me the creeps. I’m so glad she wasn’t there today. And yeah, that gap years sounds like an excellent idea at the moment.

I saw a report that the count had gone up and down, that it had been up to 32 but last count that I saw was back to 31.

This “deadliest shooting in US history” thing is bothering me a lot. Last night WKRG was displaying a list of the other campus shootings with the number of people killed like it was the 100 meter record. I can’t help but think some freak is going to say, “Hell, 33 ain’t so many, I bet I can top that.”
Gap year, nothing. Gap life. I feel like letting my babies out of the compound just long enough to find a mate. Although I know they are far more at risk of dying if they drive out Moffett Road, aka “Bloody 98,” to visit their friends in Semmes. Okay, new rule, no more friends from Semmes.
