Subject: RE: A Song or Two for Colorado's Victims
Sorry to add that one Canadian student died and one went to surgery in the Alberta shooting. Right after I posted about the Canadian shootings today, my son came in the door with all of his stuff from school. His school was again evacuated (like last Friday) except this time they told everyone to remove all their belongings and locker padlocks and take them home. Local evening news announced that a bomb threat letter had been sent to the school saying there were three bombs and they would blow up tomorrow (Thursday). School is cancelled for the rest of the week while they search the buildings again. They will have to add two days to the end of the term. This is madness. We are not living in as much fear as those huddled in bomb shelters or hiding in the Balkan mountains, but it still is madness.
