    On a less 'well, actually' note, I want to take up one other thing you wrote: that nothing could've been done to prevent this. And I agree: within the context of the status quo, it appears that nothing could have been done to stop this man from loading up his RV with homemade explosives and blowing up a chunk of Nashville. But, I think we (collectively, as a society) owe it to each other to think about what we can do to reduce social isolation. This is attenuated by the pandemic where we are caring for each other by isolating ourselves from each other. However, we're at least halfway through this thing. What can we do on the other side to ameliorate chronic isolation of other people, especially elderly folks? I'm not asking you for answers. Just asking folks who read this to think about it.

    "Nothing was hurt but some infrastructure" is a hell of a way to describe taking out the 911 system for millions of people. https://fox17.com/news/local/att-internet-phones-911-issues-from-bombing-continue-into-sunday-downtown-nashville-tennessee-broadway-outages https://fox17.com/news/local/att-internet-phones-911-issues-...
