Went Up To Virginia Tech Yesterday.

It's a five-hour drive, but it seemed like the thing to do. Lots of people I know went to Virginia Tech, including my marketing professor, and with a few twists and turns of fate I or my brother could have gone there.

The campus shows signs of getting over the shooting by now-- lots of people playing outdoors-- though I did see a couple of I'm-not-gonna-cry faces in the bookstore, and a crowd still gathers at the memorial.

Said memorial contains markers for everyone who died that day, including the shooter. Or used to. It appears that the shooter's memorial marker was stolen from the display last week. Not too hard to figure out the point the thief is making there.

As I left, I got spattered when a male Asian student laughingly tried to splash a black girl with soda, in retaliation for some teasing slight.

Life goes on.
