news, explosions in India

[netmouse]

sleigh has good comments about how the explosions that killed almost 200 people in India didn't make a dent in U.S. News yesterday. I'd heard about it because I mostly get my news from you folks (thanks, novapsyche).

Every so often I shudder to think of the cultural and informational bubble most of America seems to reside within.

But some things are still good. I was over at my mom's on Sunday, and Simpsons was on TV, and I hadn't seen that episode before, and it was good, and it made my mom smile (she had a hystorectomy on Friday and was looking kind of fragile), so that was good.

Um, it was in the headlines on CNN...

Best wishes to your mom. I hope she recovers quickly.

well, if you go to mlive.com you don't see it. Then again, that seems to be just local news. I don't know if it made the front page.

Thanks for your wishes for mom's recovery. I think I'll give her a call and see how she's doing.

MLive is local, but they show a couple national stories from the ticker at any given time. They probably rotate off pretty fast.
