This is just really tragic - makes me so sad.

Have no doubt that some dimwits will think this reflects badly on Dark Shadows fandom in general.  But the story will probably not get much play outside the NYC press.  And I think most who do hear about it will realize these people could have met anywhere.

The human loss is the tragedy, but the whole gun issue is the scariest part to me. Is it a good thing to make handguns so readily available?  And even though I'm sure the gun must've been in a bag he checked before his flight, the fact that you can even bring one with you on a plane AT ALL just beggars belief!

yep, I 've already heard from several [who know about my dual life ]  who are really riding this!

 But every one asks the same question:  A gun on a plane?  If anyone doesn't know the Lennon murder story, his killer traveled back and forth several times with a weapon, but that was before all the terrorism s***.  Impossible to believe the airlines would accept any - ANY - reason to allow this!  But this is gonna be a black mark for the fans!

Wooo!
What a bummer!  and to see the DS connection!  But of course the part that gets overlooked is the ease of access to firearms, even in the times of terrorism!  sheesh!

and times square used to be such a nice place!

Let it snow...let it snow...let it snow!

I was back East (Jersey & New York) this past week and it snowed everyday but two and I was in my glory. I love snow, from non-stick to umpteen feet. I love driving in it, shoveling it, walking (sometimes naked, lol) in it, and watching it fall delicately to the ground. I love the crunch of it beneath my shoes and even the way it stings my eyes causing me to squint when the wind blows. And the quiet treble-less world it create
