    So, we just need to say you are "ranting" and that will be the easy way to yank your chain. :devilwink:

    Walk thru Manhattan at ANY time on ANY day.....now THAT is craziness. Downtown Portland is like walking thru Forest Park compared to that.

    Because casualty is not the same thing as fatality.

    Casualty: a person killed or injured in a war or accident

    Technically but I can't remember the last time someone used that word when nobody died.

    happens a lot in military after-actions...

    "Bomb went off with 11 casualties." Sometimes "Bomb went off with 11 casualties, 2 pronounced dead at hospital" or something.

    Bless you, sir. At my age I need to get my rant in quick before the next trip to the restroom. It's goddamn annoying, I tell you, why do they put the urinals behind walls where you can't find them, anyway? I gotta pee but first they want me to run a maze like I was a damn rat in a lab! Why, when I was a boy we'd just unzip and pee wherever we were, we didn't have any fancy 'restrooms'. And everybody liked it. Why change something that worked for thousands of years? It's the gummint, I tell you! Ever since the war they've been at this... now what was I saying? Oh, right, these damn dandelions, it's those people down the street that breed them. You know the ones.

    I just copied the title from OregonLive. I think casualties includes injuries though.

    They were casually walking down the sidewalk when hit.

    If they'd been leaving the opera when they were hit they would have been formalities.

    If they were working, they'd be business casualties.

    To anyone. Been to Japan? My friend has, his wife is Japanese. Said people are like a swarm and nobody looks out for anyone. Just walk in front of you, through you. Don't hold doors for anyone. I'd probably lose my mind.

    I'm sure they would clear out of the way for the albino sumo wrestler.

    Friend said they wouldn't because they don't even look up. I could hurt people.
