And in the news today -- more sadness and fear

[catch22girl]

A plane crash in Albany killed a mother, a father and two sons. Three younger sons survived. Those poor children. It's really terrible, two, five, and ten and they're orphans. I'm very glad that they survived, but at the same time I feel horrible for them. I can't imagine what they're feeling.

Those might be kids that are gonna need a *lot* of therapy in a few years.

And in case we're not freaked out enough -- North Korea and their nuclear weapons program.
