And now, West, Texas takes a hit; not a good week for U.S.

So Monday, the Boston Marathon was interrupted with bombings, now in West, Texas, a city only about an hour southeast of where I live (again, city, not the region, "West Texas")  a fertilizer plant has exploded.

My thoughts are with those injured; thankfully I have not heard of any deceased.

Here's to hoping a lumber yard doesn't explode on my way to Nacogdoches this weekend. Apparently, dad had to pull over in a couple hail storms the other day in my car he is borrowing, that I'll be using for my trip. Great.

It's been a great week for me in terms of job offers and gets (have a third option involving sports photography for weekends now), but would be a lot better if things didn't get worse elsewhere at the same time.

Would rather only the former part of of the opening line to A Tale of Two Cities be the true one. Maybe one day.

I'm glad things are going better with your job search.  I think the thing about a Tale of Two Cities, is it's always going to be like that -- the best and the worst at the same time.  

Not much news about the explosion. Don't know if it was an accident or somebody did it.  I hope it was an accident.

Accident. It is national news, and the woman I was conference calling in Santa Monica, CA for the new job actually asked me about it, so I'm surprised you didn't see it, but I guess you try to avoid news. Not a bad idea for this week. lol

First thing I saw whenever I woke up this morning. It's tragic indeed, I wish them all the best.

I didn't see anything on that because I tend to avoid the news, since nothing good ever comes from it, since there's always news that someone died and such. But damn, hope it was an accident and not a bombing attempt. Wish those people well.

Pretty sure accident, but still a comparable amount of injuries to Boston bombing and lots of homes gone. Sad.
