Well, right now, I couldn't care less about puzzles, jokes and the likes; I'm scared.
2 days ago, a soldier was shot and killed in St-Jean, Quebec by a radicalized Canadian.
About an hour ago, same thing happened here in Ottawa, about a mile from where I live, some 3 blocks from where I used to work.
Not confirmed yet if by a radicalized person...
Now reports that there may be more than one "shooter", some on the loose;
reports of over 30 shots fired. I've been hearing sirens for an hour now...
Sorry if I shouldn't have posted this...
I'm a man of few words, BUT I use 'em often!!

Denis, that is scary! Let us know you are safe.

As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.

Scary indeed. Stay inside and safe until the authorities have things under control. And do keep us posted.
The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

Thanks, but it's not ME as such...it's the unprecedented situation...
Things have kind of settled down now. The shooter has been killed.
Still no word on the background; too early of course.

Just shows how your life can be turned upside down in an instant with absolutely no warning...
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.
I wonder what's on television...?

It is now confirmed that the young soldier has died from the gunshots. This young man was guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier. This is a ceremonial guard that takes place daily leading up to Remembrance Day on Nov 11.
Why do people who know the least know it the loudest?

Stay safe all of you. The world has just become a lot crazier, and none of it is good...
Life is what happens while you're making other plans.
