    He's being taken to Mt. Auburn Hospital. Harvard teaching hospital. I've used their fine emergency services. If there's a way to keep him alive, he will be.

    Now we can get to the useless interviews of average joes and janes on the street.

    "How do you feel?"

    No disrespect but thought I'd lighten the mood just a bit:

    Heath Ledger's Joker: "Look what I did to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets."

    So scary to think how true this is. One guy with a few guns and explosives shut down a major US city. One guy.

    Actually, o_t, the people on the street interviews from Watertown were very good today. People just talked about what they'd seen, and some of them were naturally skilled observers.

    Hope you and yours are doing okay Mike. Can't imagine the anxiety for all Boston folks the last four days.

    It's been very weird, Hondo. You know, I always used to joke with people from outside Boston that I liked living here because it was a pretty big city where nothing much dramatic ever happened. That's out now. I never thought we were important enough to be anybody's target. That's why I was always sure the bombers had to have at least spent part of their lives in Boston. How else would they think of the Marathon as a target? Every big city has one now.

    Yes, they can all follow the intrepid lead of the AP, New York Post, Boston Globe and Boston Herald in those proper reporting techniques.

    Arthur Dexter Bradley was only robbing the register. He hopes you understand.

    He saw two people running out, they looked like middleweights. They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates.

    The press conference going on right now is awful. They are talking like all this is over. It's just beginning.
