Sun rays

as the sun was setting, sun rays were just crossing these peaks in anza borrega state park, near san diego. it was so very pretty.
at the subway stations in boston they now continuously announce that you should report anything suspicious. they did this when we just arrived 3 years ago, but the past year or so i didnt hear it that much, until last monday. there is also more police on the streets and the national guard patrols the subway stations; at some places they inspect bags before you can enter, but so far not at "my" stations. some 12 blocks remain closed off to the public entirely, as well as the subway station close to where the explosions occurred. the thought that we walked that street so very often, and that we were watching the marathon last year around that area is just weird.
i can only be glad that neither me nor anyone i know was there when it happened, but so many others were not that lucky.....

i think its useless, all this patrolling.. you can't stop this kind of violence, because when you do stop them, they will just try again.. that's why it's called terrorism. we should take the problem by the root and ask what drives these lunatics to do such evil??

just absolutely disgusting. i'm so happy you were not anywhere near that spot like we were last year..

That is always the question, why hate some people other people so much to do these things. Glad you both are ok.

SO glad you didn't make it to the race this year! I can't imagine the craziness that drives anyone to the carnage we see around the world.
