And if I remember right, tomorrow (4/20) is the anniversary of Columbine. I'm not sure how many years though, or what time that happened. Sad, sad few days.
Ya know, from what I heard, the OK City guys almost bombed the Denver Fed Building that day instead. My daughter went to school right across the street from that Fed Building at the time. Pretty scary!
Also, I'm from Littleton and if I'd lived a block further west, I would've gone to Columbine. I was well out of high school by the time the shootings happened, but I was there many times for high school sporting events. And remember the shopping mall that the kids ran to for safety? I worked in that mall about a year (I think??) before the shootings. All this kinda gives me the creeps.
Dang. I had no idea it was today, this entry was meant to be!

VERY interesting...Sure is something to think about!
*hugs*
So truly sad...breaks my heart to see the names and ages of those little ones..
Columbine, 1997. I remember because I was just coming out of surgery for a hysterectomy. In my groggy haze, laying on my bed in my room, I heard the news reports. It's been eight years...
