Uh, yeah. Cool. Except, well….. there are more out there. The two that were identified in the videos were not the only ones. This attempt at closure by the authorities is misplaced. And trust me when I say they are all talking as if this chapter is closed. As a counselor, I work at creating closure quite regularly.

But closure is about an ending. The bombing on Monday, and the resultant man hunt are but a start. It is not even close to an ending.

Do not get me wrong. I believe that the actions this past week by all the agencies involved was by far some of the strongest proof that terrorism is best handled by police work, not military intervention. I also believe that the agencies did bring their A-game. They kicked ass.

It is the attempted effort at closure that I am having difficulty in accepting. There are more out there; of this I have no doubt. It is one thing to discuss what has occurred so far in this case; to share information to give the population a sense of security. It is another to give an impression that everything is now done. Everything is not done. There is still more police and investigative work to be completed. There are more terrorists to apprehend.

Okay, I managed to get myself shoveled out of the driveway. Now comes the real test; can I get down the unplowed road? Thankfully a good sized pickup drove by, creating two large ruts I should be able to follow. Wish me the best! I am going to try and get to work.

I am hoping for a good outcome to an already tragic situation in Boston. My thoughts are to the good people there, and to the courageous men and women of the law enforcement agencies as they search for the suspect.

Holy crap! I have over 12 inches blocking my front door. I managed to open it about a third of the way. But that is it. Meanwhile, the State of Minnesota, being ignorant and stubborn, has yet to declare a weather emergency in this part of the state. So, I am still expected to make it to work. I am not going to make it, but I am expected.

Sigh. And the town I live in does not have a road crew. That means no plowing of the streets. So, even if I could get my ass out the front door and shovel the foot of snow off my car and out of my driveway, I am not making it down the road. I called work, they know I am not going to make it on time. Hell, if they do not plow my road today, I will not make it in at all.

Oh well. I am enjoying my hot, black, strong coffee and listening to the news about the Snowpocalypse and the continuing saga in Boston.
