I meant to post this a while ago, but I wanted to post photos taken of Boston Common the Sunday following the marathon. Unfortunately they didn't come out (they're backlit, so you can't see any of the people in them).
But it was nice to see that the Common was packed with people and that Boston is getting back to normal after the bombing.
So apparently something happened in downtown Boston today. I live close to Boston, so I suppose I should mention it, but there's not much for me to say. I'm fine, I didn't go to watch the marathon, and no one I knew was anywhere near the finish line. Beyond that, I have nothing to add that hasn't been said countless times already. (Sympathies to the victims; I hope they catch the people who did this.) I just can't help but feel that I should mention something on it since the PAX East blog entries are still on the front page.
So I'm watching an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. (Specifically, "Want," according to TiVo.)
Criminal Intent focuses a lot on details used to discover the crime.
So in the episode, Detective Goren is at the suspects apartment after taking him to lunch to apologize for a "wrongful arrest" over an arrest warrant for someone with the same basic description and name.
He walks over a flips on the video which is playing, which provides some vital insight into the suspect's psyche.
"Here is Fuentes, trying to make amends for his outing last night, when he allowed three runs in a big eighth inning for the Red Sox. And Kielty comes off and hits one into left field for a home run!"
It's great. The announcer just keeps on talking, without skipping a beat, as the very first pitch Fuentes threw out turns into a home run.
