Yeah, there was a lot about the bombing on the news. It appears now to have been a bizarre suicide bombing, where the perp apparently didn't want to kill anyone but himself, but still hoped to do a lot of damage, possibly specifically to AT&T, though they don't know that for sure as yet.
I must say the news of the police evacuating as many people as possible reminded me of
Richard Jewell ... though it seems the bomber may have saved even more lives with that audio warning/countdown.
But now, back to topic! In New York City, we happily (from my point of view) had the opposite of a white Christmas: A powerful rainstorm, Christmas Eve into Christmas morning, wiped out the last of the snow from a major storm that dumped ten inches on us a week ago, so that early on Christmas afternoon, I could go running in a Central Park that was free of snow cover.

I hope everyone is making the best of the holidays so far, in these very unusual circumstances. Best wishes to all for the New Year!
