    Thank you, Ellie! But I couldn't run the perimeter of your yard now if MY life depended on it, either!

    Death thought about it.

    Such a scary scene they are talking about from there right now.

    Time helps the sadness subside, but the memories remain forever.

    It is, although from what we see, both explosions look small, but there is no known cause yet, unjust speculation ranging from electrical issues, gas issues to "bombs" and no one knows much. Right now they are saying 6 people are known injured.

    Yes, and now they are saying there were at least 2 homemade bombs, and they found one that had not exploded, so hopefully they will be able to find out who did this, and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

    CNN is reporting that a 3rd bomb exploded at the JFK library, and now the injured count is 49 with 6 of them critical, I imagine this will be changing thru the night as more info comes in.

    What is wrong with this crazy world???????????
