Hard to Post on Saturday

It was hard to post anything on Saturday, with the Columbia tragedy and all. John Ludwig mentions that he's put the flag at his house at half-mast. My comments to his post:

We have a flag that normally hangs at a 45 degree angle. My mom figured out how to set it so that it, too, is half mast.

After a little while, I had to turn the news off, because it was continuing to be depressing. I grieve and mourn with the families, mind you, but it was a bit much to take.
