Boston Tragedy

[deelaundry]

Shocked and saddened by the explosions in Boston today.

Not much I can do from here but this: I am going this weekend to donate blood. If you can donate blood, please do. US blood supplies are pretty much always low; probably other countries' supplies too.

PS. No jokes about this event, please. I don't expect anyone on my friends' list to do so, but if you were thinking about it, please don't.

I spent several hours watching the news, then collapsed and slept for over two hours. I feel so horrible for all of those runners, and the spectators anticipating seeing their loved ones crossing the finish line.

According to the video on Boston Globe.com, at least one of the bombs went off in the middle of a spectator crowd. Right on the sidewalk. It's horrifying.
