My Mother Is Even Slower to Get the News Than Me

[queerbychoice]

I just received this email from my mother a moment ago:

"Did you hear about the mass murders lately. Nicolay Soltys killed 7 family members a few weeks ago, 4 of whom were in Rancho Cordova [where I work]. Yesterday a 20 year old man who killed 5 people spent most of the day holed up with his last victim less than a mile from you. He was gunning for coworkers so you were fairly safe."

Remember when the deaths of 5 or 12 people used to be news?
