There is no question that the shootings in Arizona were a monumental tragedy. And it is pointless to try to find someone to blame. As the host of the Daily Show said last night, there have always been crazy people, and there always will be. And to paraphrase (repeat what he said but not exactly in the same words) him again, maybe we all (politicians and wannabe politicians especially) should stop talking like crazy people. That way it might be easier to tell who the real crazy people are. Enough. If you can catch a rerun of the Daily Show, it was said much better.
Another snow storm is on the way. A northeaster by the name of Benedict. And everybody knows, when a storm is given a name, it ain't good. Supposedly it will arrive around midnight tonight, and the snow will fly, while the wind is howling. It will be something to see, or so the they say. Of course, it will be a lot more enjoyable for those of us who can stay home. Which is what I plan to do. Edgar, also.
I can say with some certainty, that if the storm does arrive, and if it remains through tomorrow morning, the Library here will be closed.
And so, whatever you do, I hope it is enjoyable at the least, and spectacularly wonderful at the most.
If you do have to go into the outside world on the morrow, please be careful, and take extreme care. Remember, it's very difficult to see polar bears in snow storms.
