Always A Fan Of Wikipedia . . .
. . . the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
A comprehensive entry about today's tragedy, which will only become more detailed by the hour, has already been created.
Edit: It is absolutely amazing how much that page has changed over the last 12 hours.
The Worst Mass Killing In U.S. History
Remember #2?
Edit: Heard one witness on the radio (who was shot in the arm but survived) who describe the shooter as an "Asian" in his twenties.
I'm Off To Fort Worth . .
. . . but I was just shocked to learn (from ABC Radio) that "at least 20 people" have been gunned down on the campus of Virginia Tech.

Good To See . . .
. . . in the Opinion section of the Dallas Morning News yesterday that the paper's official stance is now, for the first time, anti-death penalty.
That dang liberal media keeps getting it right.
Awww, Pretty Bluebonnets
Whoa!
(A faithful reader since me this pic - and two just like it - with the caveat of "I don't know if this is real.") Click to enlarge for more of that warm, fuzzy feeling.
Final Imus Thought
Someone on the radio reminded me this morning that Stevie Wonder's hit "I Wish" began with these lyrics:
Looking back on when I was a little nappy headed boy
Yeah, it's not the same thing but interesting nevertheless.
Turkey Talk
A faithful reader, mindful that my past half-marathon pics had generated some not so flattering comments about my legs, emailed this link and inquired if I had been shot.
No, maam, that was not me.
Why Was This A Secret?
It is your money, after all. And isn't there some inherent risk that you might die if your an astronaut? (Story.)
A Triple Good Update Today
Link.
Another odd coaching vacancy in Decatur, a high speed chase that made it all the way through Wise County without the driver being shot (which is typically what happens), and a tractor-trailer driver whose wheels were figuratively flying off.

Star Telegram Gets Worse Just When You Thought It Was Impossible
I like the hard copy of the Star Telegram but its web site is horrible. There is about 2 square inches of relevant material but the rest is a mess of advertising and stale material.
Tonight hit an all time low point when a "flash" type advertisement popped up on the screen - a HUGE ad that covered half the screen (see above). The Dallas Morning News has been whipping our arse with flash ads for three years but now the ST has joined in. But the drive-me-insane moment came when I finally found the "close" button on the ad only to have it not "close". So it sat there obstructing half the screen so I had no choice other than to actually read it. As you can tell, it was an advertisement for an event that ended yesterday.
Good job
