Even if you're not a soccer fan, as an American, you can't help but be somewhat touched by this. The bar in Califonia, park in Kansas City or the pause in the bustle in at a store front in New York......

Love this video. Love the "Rudy" theme. Love the fact that although I was in my car taking my son to daycare the moment it happened, unable to answer my phone as it began to blow up with calls from friends and co-workers, I knew exactly what had happened. Love the fact that my wife, who doesn't follow sports in general, said her office erupted in unison.

Love the fact that only sports, once again, can bring some of us together in a way that total strangers share in the agony and heartbreak of a close game and then become instant best friends, spattering high-fives to anyone within range and the hugging like the reunion of long lost friends reuniting.

Like most of my maybe half-dozen diaries to this site, I apologize for not adding anything to the discourse, but hell with it......

I love it when a country comes together!!!!!

I'm trying to craft a letter to our Senators for tomorrow, having started with Sen. Murray. I need a little help. I can't call as I have no access to long distance (cell got wet, no outside lines at work)
I have no doubt that for those involved its a numbers game tomorrow, and a cut and paste, bullet-pointed, generic letter would be the best way to go, it's just not my way.

The suspect in the slaying of 4 Lakewood police officers may be on the move.

I apologize for such a short diary, but I haven't seen this on any other news outlets other than here locally and wanted to get the information out:

Per Seattle Times:
Police are looking for the wife of suspected cop killer Maurice Clemmons, and have told officers to be on the lookout for her car, possibly headed to Arkansas.

Notice went out about 12:15 p.m. for officers to be on the lookout for a green 1997 Mazda Millenia with Washington license plate 208-SSX

Per Seattle Times:
"Maurice Clemmons, the 37-year-old Tacoma man being sought for questioning in the killing of four Lakewood police officers this morning, has a long criminal record punctuated by violence, erratic behavior and concerns about his mental health.

Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protestations of prosecutors.

"This is the day I've been dreading for a long time," Larry Jegley, prosecuting attorney for Arkansas' Pulaski County said Sunday night when informed that Clemmons was being sought in connection to the killings."
