Are there any safe places left anymore? What happened today brings it to the forefront. I don't think we need to worry about the Mayan calendar and the world ending. I know that there are many dangerous places in the world. Maybe that is why I like the books of Wes Boyd so much: oases of sanity amidst an insane world.

On a much lighter note, I read on Yahoo that in 2013 a new US quarter will be released depicting the building of the Monument at Mt. Rushmore. The South Dakota quarter released in 2006 has the four presidents and a long tail bird flying above them. Does anyone know what kind of bird that is and is it the state bird of SD?

The bird is the state bird of South Dakota and is a Chinese Ring-Necked Pheasant

I saw an article on Yahoo News about the Bath, Michigan school bombing in 1927. Over twice the number of children were killed than in the recent Connecticut murders. There were many heroes also. The news media left after a week to cover the Lindburgh flight over the Atlantic. I guess there will always be bad people who hurt others and those who pick up the pieces and try to heal.
