2 1/2 hours to get from my house to the office -
I need nap.

Greetings, comrades.
It's not the ensuing 30 years that's throwing me yoday.
It's looking back on it and realizing that the morning the Challenger blew up, I was still a teenager. Damn.

Ugh. I feel your pain, Mala. I don't miss that nonsense. But I have to love the way traffic slows to a crawl when rain (a very common thing in Florida) falls from the sky.

I was in college and was sitting outside of a class when someone told me. I went to lunch, and the cafeteria had a screen listing headlines.

I found this rather moving letter from a U.S. Marine. Here is an excerpt.
Raine, I believe that you were right when you wrote that the last casualty of the Iraq War will be someone screaming his last breath towards the end of this century. Let us hope that whoever is the Democratic nominee, that we emphasize that there are better solutions to problems than always putting boots on the ground. (I have never liked that phrase. We have to think about the soldiers in those boots.)
“Senator Sanders,
I want to thank you. I want to thank you for exercising sound judgement even when everyone around you was beating the war drums.
See I fought in the streets of Fallujah, Iraq. I saw more blood and death than any 19 year old ever should. The amount of friends I’ve lost to war will likely be surpassed by the amount of friends I’ve since lost to suicide.
I know first hand the moral cost of war. One of the most painful truths that I must go through life with is that I fought in an unjust and unfounded war. While my intentions were good and I fought hard for the men to my left and to my right, and while I thought what I was doing what was right for the people of Iraq- I was wrong.
Raine, I believe that you were right when you wrote that the last casualty of the Iraq War will be someone screaming his last breath towards the end of this century.
