Yup. Philadelphia recorded over 500 homicides this year, only the second time in its history (1990, the height of the crack cocaine epidemic).

The police are looking for someone in a white pickup truck for the explosions in Pittsburgh overnight.

I am a little concerned that the explosions in Pittsburgh were trial runs for future attempts.

Police are searching a home in Hipsterville in regard to the explosions. I read that the suspect is also the same person suspected of blowing up some porta-potties back in November.

Ticketmaster admits it hacked rival company before it went out of business

That stuff is really hard to read. Every time I hear about these stories I just picture my own daughter being subject to that. Awful.

This falls into the "Time Flies" category. Holy crap, Kobe died one year ago. Honestly feels like last month.

This. Anytime I hear or read stuff like this, I immediately think of my kids and how I could never do something like that and it just tears me apart.

How the hell does someone do that to a child is beyond me.

Anytime I try to picture the world pre-COVID, his death is usually one of the first things to pop into my head, along with the birth of my daughter. Anything before that is pre, everything after is post.

It's still surreal to watch TV shows or see old pictures of yourself not caring how or where you gathered. I read my kids a Magic School Bus story last night. The plot involves visiting their sick classmate who couldn't make it to school that day. In my mind I'm thinking, "Why are you purposefully visiting this sick kid at his house, let alone without any PPE?!"

Ha, I do the same. I'm so into the COVID life right now and how we've lived during the past year that anytime I watch something I'm like "you can't be that close w/o a mask" or "holy crap look at all those people together in a bar" or something like that.

When we do eventually get back to "normal" one day it's going to get some getting used to.
