I’m no quitter though. Besides, it’s work related. Latest report is bomb fuse lit and thrown at police. That may be the grenade. Bombs are a good sign that the bombers did this. Maybe they were staying at the Residence Inn. I never liked that place. They let penguins eat Krazy Krill on the furniture. ---
