Gonzo,

We've never met, but I wanted to leave a dusty hug for you and yours. Sorry to hear of your loss.

Much love, Moon ;)

I'm faux-pas'ing majorly by paying for my girlfriend to go with me (partly on account she's too poor to pay for it.)

So now her fucking boss says that he wants her there for a one-day orientation for new students smack in the middle of the week. And she's fighting to have enough money to not work for two weeks anyway. And she gets these crippling fucking migraines once in a while and is desperately trying to figure out the triggers so she's not begging to die on the Playa.

The worst part is that I have to let her figure out how to make all this stuff work on her own. She has to want to go bad enough to endure daily bullshit like this so she can endure a whole week (plus travel) of being on a psychological rollercoaster. Fuck.

A train hauling crude oil barreled into a small town here in Quebec at 1 a.m. this morning, taking out pretty much the entire main street with the resulting explosions.

One confirmed dead.... ....not many casualties....

but it was a beautiful evening. The bars and terraces were full (closing time being 3 a.m.). The area's still burning so there's no way to get in and see if there are any survivors.

Not looking fucking good at the moment.

I just watched a heartbreaking report of a woman who left the bar 20 minutes before the explosion. About 15 of her friends were still in the bar where they were having a birthday celebration... and not one of them can be found today.

And the news is still maintaining "one dead", and "can't get in to confirm if there are other casualties". (I can't even fucking imagine that one).

I started my day with possibly the worst thing I've ever seen in my life probably right up there with finding my father's lifeless body.

When I hit the crest of the hill at 5:45 first I thought maybe a truck dropped some of it's cargo.... then in a nanosecond I knew exactly what was spewed haphazardly across three lanes and I gasped as my breath was taken from me.

In a voice foreign to me I screamed, "You bastard, damn you to hell", I'm sure I looked like Munch's famous painting yet with one hand on the wheel and tears uncontrollably streaming down my cheeks. I couldn't really process the emotions I felt, I had to let it out as violently as I could, yet, felt empty as if the life was instantaneously sucked out of me.

There was no logical explanation, this was not an accident. Either some evil incarnate deliberately did this or were too drunk or going too fast to react or a combination.
The road in the direction leading up to the carnage was straight and flat. There were parking lots on either side, a simple quick turn of the wheel and a jump of the curb would have prevented this. I would have taken my chances and gone straight into a pole were it I.

The kitchen is just up the road and it took me a good 15 minutes in the parking lot to gain some composure. I couldn't get the image out of my head all day.

It's a pretty densely populated area, one of the largest malls on Long Island, strip malls on the other side, a 55+ gated community adjacent and as part of the agreement the developer had to leave a large recharge basin to feed the aquifer.

A gaggle of 30-40 geese have populated this since I've moved here 15 years ago, and in all probability since the land was populated by natives, today there are 6-7 less.

It's not uncommon for traffic to be backed up for quite away as they waddle there way from one side of the street to another.

The bastards, may they rot in the hell of their own making.

Fuck! Just fuck it all to hell!

Fuck.

A very close friend of mine revealed to me he has cancer this weekend. He's tired of fighting, and he's going to let it take him. For half a day on Saturday, I wandered alone on foot in my neighborhood trying to make sense of it all. There are no answers. The cat kept me company the rest of the day. No phone calls, no contacts with another human being.

Fucking WHY?????????????

There is no answer.

MSJ, that's a GREAT idea. In the default we have friends and family with whom we engage in the act of grieving. It brings us closer together. Thus, I think that perhaps we also need to get together as a group of friends on-playa to grieve together and come closer together as a result.

Is anyone else interested?

Together, we can engage in a 'walk of remembrance' to the temple, to share the lives of those we've lost (and thus keep their spirits in our hearts), to grieve together and grow together in a true act of community.

I propose we do it early in the week, and walk together to the Temple. Anyone else interested? Send me a message here, and we'll set it up. Even if it's just a few of us, it's still important.

I will walk to the Temple with you , ^Rhino! and I have vowed to myself to walk out with the Lamplighters this year as well.

My Very Dear and Only Brother learned today that his fucking cancer has spread to his liver. :cry: :cry: :cry: And so the much-delayed surgery to clean up the mass of tubes hanging off his back and front will most likely be cancelled, once and for all. This is as fucking good as his life will ever be, right now... and it's a fucking mess.

And he has always been the nicest, kindest, most wonderful physician I have ever met. Marathon runner, Mr. Clean, beautiful tenor voice praising his god in church every Sunday...my little brother.

Fuck.
