The number sticks with me ... the population of my home town.
Gone.
That's just the guys in our uniforms.
There's more.
Many more.
For what?
I was thinking about going to one of the Move On Vigils tonight, but I really need to smith.
So instead of candle light vigil ... the Dead will have to deal with coal and tobacco.
If anyone cares to join ... 3323 Emerson Av. N.
I'll probably pause a bit around 6:30 as that's when everyone else is vigiling.
Look at a map ... find Amery just over there across the St. Croix.
Imagine that over the last three years ... that dot faded out.
And ... Eau Claire too ...
Gone, in three years. All those people.
That's what happened on the other side of the world.
