"Oh, Mother, don't be so sentimental. Things explode every day."

Mom watches way too much CNN. And apparently has no memory of the 70s. She came in at breakfast looking all astonished. "The subways in London are running!" Well, yeah. They know how to swap out a blowed-up train or two. It's in the employee manual.

While I'm drinking my milk, Good Morning America is running an inspirational montage to a minor-key, legato version of "Rule, Brittania," and cornering eyepatched victims to ask them, "How did you feel at that moment?"

I'm sorry, London. I know y'all are really good at this kind of stuff, but there hasn't been a shark attack in days, and the hurricanes just aren't living up to their hype yet.
