The 5th-grader watched what looked like her house on TV, engulfed in flames. She thought about her fish, imagining it swimming to fish heaven. Then her school burned. Today she and other children came to a new school, yearning for normalcy. @danrosziff washingtonpost.com/weather/2…

In Oxford, Mass., local officials closed public spaces to protect residents against the Eastern equine encephalitis virus. Parents and others responded with measured defiance -- a post-pandemic desire, one said, to stop “living scared.” @jslaternyc washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

Replying to @JenGriffinFNC
This has been brewing for almost a month now. Amazed that it took this long for a direct attack on a USN combatant. Fortunately it fell short but the next one might be different. This conflict is expanding whether we like it or not. It's inevitable.
