Today is the 10th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, the worst case of domestic terrorism in US history. I remember turning on the TV as soon as I got up to see the news pictures. I don't believe we know the entire story or ever will, even tho one conspirator was executed and the other is serving life.
It looks like there is a new pope. We were just getting ready to go out the door when NBC cut over to a special bulletiin and then we watched the confusion about the color of the smoke. Hundreds of years to get the routine down and they still manage to throw confusion in to the works on what color the smoke was. It definately looked white to us, but the Vatican radio was reporting it as black, then white. The bells also didn't start up whent they were supposed to. Makes you wonder what was going on inside. I do hope they've chosen a Pope who will drag the church into the 21st century, but I'm afraid that the traditionalist will insist on keeping it in the 15th.
