    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???????????

    This is so sad. Boston Marathon day should be a day of celebration, not fear.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    There reports of injuries are now up to at least 60, and there are many in critical condition at local hospitals. News reports are now saying it was not a bomb at JFK Library site, but a fire.

    As I left the house to go mail our taxes a little while ago, a large helicopter flew overhead quite low, maybe support from local military. Much of that area of Boston is closed right now, and while train service is back up and running, they are asking people to stay inside.

    The BSO concert for the evening has been cancelled - Symphony Hall is a quick walk from there, and there is a lot of confusion, of course. We look forward to answers as the days move forward, and will keep the injured innocents in our prayers.
