@anotherjoe, I checked you out cause there's this thing going on and I always find you funny but you opted for news :P
okay - that's funny, too

lol, yeah. I kinda made it a point to go with #news since most folks went with #til. It was fun to see both climb the tag ladder, but #til won... so far. ;)
I don't know if I'll get any articles out today. Lots going on. Maybe tomorrow.
So, I need to consider #funny. It's funny, because I tend to respond with humor (or at least try), but don't really start out writing about humor. Hrmmm...

Update:

A gunman murdered a Southwest Airlines employee, then killed himself Tuesday at Oklahoma City's Will Rogers World Airport in what police described as a premeditated attack.
Michael Winchester, 52, was shot while walking between a crowded terminal and the airport employee parking area. The unidentified suspect was later found dead in a pickup truck in public parking garage overlooking the scene. Police said the suspect appeared to die of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

This is the first I've heard about it, so excellent job reporting the news!

Plus, the shooter is still out there?

I'll steer clear of OK City for a bit. Thanks @anotherjoe!

The gunman committed suicide. Update in main comments.

Extreme choices... too bad so many those decisions these days...
