Relief

Austin's serial bomber is deceased as of this morning, and soon we'll be able to tune down our hyper-vigilance. It's been very surreal seeing something like this in our community.

Brian Manley should definitely become permanent APD chief, as he was the voice of both strength and calm this month, during this ordeal.

I have a few questions still. I'm super curious about the general area of town where the two mailed packages were headed. Don't really know why it matters to me, but it just feels like an unfinished story there. Also, I'm wondering how a guy in a wild blonde wig and wearing gloves didn't strike a Fedex employee as odd, especially when we're all so paranoid about packages right now. Not to place any blame on the employee at all, but it's just strange to me. Jeff said it's Austin and the guy probably sees ten people in weird wigs every day.

True.

Anyhoo... we're all breathing easier now, hopeful that there won't be any more deaths or injuries caused by this person. (That's a nice word for him, but I'll leave it at that.)

Whew!
