    Duck is ok, she's in Trondheim far away from the incident. I'll let her know you asked.

    I'm trying to distance myself a little from it all, waiting for the names to be announced. Incapable of making much sense anyway. The Guardian had a couple of good articles in English here:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011...osion-massacre

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...shootings-oslo

    They pretty much describe "my" Norway. Nothing like this has happened since WW II. I feel like the Eloi in Wells' Time Machine. Grateful for one thing - physically he was a blond, goodlooking, average Norwegian, nothing that could identify him as an "outsider" and trigger some awful backlash.

    Thank you all. We'll be continuing on vacation now, we're borrowing a small sailboat and going towards the swedish coast. Have to get out of Oslo now or be emotionally overwhelmed. It will be a week until all the victims are identified and we know who is affected. I've read just two or three eye-witness stories and they are absolutely heartbreaking, and there will be so many more. He used illegal expanding ammunition to maximize the damage, and shot everyone twice to make sure they were dead.

    I guess I really am a pacifist. I don't feel anger at all, just sorrow and apathy, faced with this level of pure evil.

    -logging out for a while now. A peaceful summer to all.
