I started to have a bad headache right after I heard about what had happened at the Boston Marathon. It continued into the night and I am still hurting. It could be because I am coming down with a cold I think or it could be a reaction to what I am hearing and seeing.
If you are a long time reader of this web log, you know I was in the city on 9-11. And I have written how I got home and the different things that affected me.
That’s not where my mind went when I heard about the explosions, it was the Atlanta Centennial Olympic Park Bombing that immediately came to mind, July 27, 1996. That was a nail bomb that killed two and injured 111 people. The perpetrator was home grown and eventually caught but not before he set off three more bombs killing and maiming people.
I was supposes to go down to the park that night and meet up with some friends. The tower where the bomb went off is where we were going to meet up because we had a buddy on the tower working lights for the shows. I didn’t go because I was in the middle of writing a fanfic and was on a roll. The next day I found out that group I was going to go with decided not to go and went to Taco Mac instead. So fanfic may have saved my life.
My heart goes out to everyone affected by this senseless tragedy.
I am sure there is going to be a lot going around on the net about this. I plan to take the information with a grain of salt. Just remember what happened to Richard Jewel in the passion of the moment to get answers. Time is needed to figure out what happened and we are going to get all kinds of speculation and wild theories over the next couple of days.
Blood supplies are going to be depleted. Blood donation is at a pretty low point right now so if you can give blood, maybe you should think about it. Careful about donating money. There are a number of scams already out there. Red Cross is one place that is pretty safe.
I am hoping that I can get this headache to go away or calm to a dull roar. And if I am getting sick, I hope I get over it soon.
Healing thoughts and prayers to the injured and my prayers and sympathies to the family who lost someone.
Hug someone you love today. Life is uncertain.
I am grateful I didn’t go down to the park that July night.
