Went to an Octoberfest with the missus, had some good wurst mit sauerkraut und potato salad, and enjoyed some good yodeling and polka music playing. A good reminder of why it's good to be alive.
And, therefore, I pass on this message to my fellow TMF'ers: it's VERY important to go on with your life. Grieve appropriately, of course, and take adequate precautions; but do NOT hide inside your house and fear the events of the world outside. If you let yourself be ruled by your fears, the terrorists win. If you continue to go about your daily life, as the President recommended, you show them that we will not be intimidated and that they will not disrupt our world, no matter how many sick plans they sit and make up in their twisted little cells.
Remember: there's a reason they call these people "terrorists." If they can't inflict the terror, they're not "terrorists" anymore; they're just "assholes who blow themselves up."
