Default Lessons learned from the Oregon tragedy

I don't have cable and I don't watch TV (except DVDs). I could afford
it, but have just found it pointless after the past couple of years

Unless you're into reality TV, television is just terrible. I do check
CNN and my local news almost every day, and didn't see this apparently
high profile story.

Anyway, as I said originally I'm sorry to hear about this. But having
lived and played in and around the high country (CO front range
mountains), I find this lack of preparation irresponsible and frankly
not very smart. Leaving your car in the 1st place is a BAD MOVE...


I have only what I get with rabbit ears (two local channels and a very
snowy Fox channel), however, I do check MSNBC and CNN on the internet.
This story was plastered everywhere for more than a week. It was pretty
hard to miss, but I'm impressed that you did! :-) It is good to get
away from it all now and then.
