Hey, Spencer…
Here in Amish country we recently experienced the loss of U.S. Arm Spec. Damon Winkleman in Afghanistan.
Yeah, I know, he enlisted, so I guess he had it coming.
Why in the world aren’t you guys at FDL talking about Pittsburgh and the Kent State relapse?

Sorry to harsh you, I’m out.

Did you decide to change the heading for the Afghanistan casualties?
Oh crap! Big mistake! I’ll correct immediate; thanks.
It’s okay. I was just afraid I’d miss them if something changed.
