Bummer

Mom goes crazy, shoots 4.

Now the easy route would be to say: Man, guess I had better go to http://www.ftd.com/ and order some more flowers for my mom. I recommend you do the same.

More subtle would be for me to say : Man, I'm glad I bought my mom pepper spray instead of a gun.

This being ~~Liberal Central~~ Seattle, I am sure it will be blamed on the gun any time now.

"What did I want?

I wanted the hurtling moons of Barsoom. I wanted Storisende and Poictesme, and Holmes shaking me awake to tell me, "The games' afoot!" I wanted to float down the Mississippi on a raft and elude a mob in company with the Duke of Bilgewater and the Lost Dauphin. I wanted Prester John and Excalibur held by a moon-white arm out of a silent lake. I wanted to sail with Ulysses and with Tros of Samothrace and eat the lotus in a land that seemed always afternoon.

I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be what they had promised me it was going to be -- instead of the tawdry, lousy, fouled-up mess it is."
-- Glory Road, Robert Heinlein
